Graduation Tassel
We initially made this DIY tassel in order to add it to our Free Printable Graduation Card.
It is graduation season and so making a graduation tassel was on the mind when we made this fun card. Graduation is such a fun time for a graduate and their loved ones and why not make something special for them to celebrate!
Tassels
We're excited to share our step by step process for making a tassel. We are sharing how to make it out of embroidery thread, but a this could also work the same for a yarn tassel.
Supplies For DIY Tassel
- Embroidery Floss
- Scissors
- Card or Piece of Cardboard
How To Make A Tassel
Start by taking the end piece of thread and hold it onto your card or cardboard.
Continue wrapping the thread until you it is as thick as you want the tassel to be. For a graduation tassel, we wrapped it about 15-20 times.
Cut a piece of thread about 2 inches and tie in a knot a the top of the tassel.
Slip the wrapped thread off the card. Then using a scissor, cut the end of the loop of the wrapped thread.
Then using another piece of thread, wrap around the head of the tassel ten to fifteen times and then tie it in a knot to secure. Cut off the excess thread.
HAPPY CRAFTING!
