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.
