Christmas Tassel Tutorial
Is your Christmas crafting done? (If not, don't worry! You still have a few days!If you're ready to start wrapping, I have a great tutorial to jazz up your packages. This is a great ornament, too!Christmas Tassel Tutorial:
Materials and Tools:
- A variety of ribbon. You could also use lace or yarn.
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions:Step #1
Decide how long you would like your tassel and then double it and cut your ribbons (or lace or yarn.)I used about 15 ribbons total. The one ribbon I had was way too wide, so I cut it into strips. I think a variety is nice, but you could do all one color or ribbon if that is your taste.Step #2
Cut a shorter piece of ribbon and a longer piece of ribbon. The longer piece will be the hanger, the shorter piece will hold all the ribbons together.Step #3
I arranged my ribbons in the way I wanted by folding them over my finger so I could see how the tassel would look.Step #4
Take the longer extra ribbon you cut and tie a knot in it. Then center it in the middle of all the ribbons.
Here you can see the ribbons are folded in half around the longer ribbon.Step #5
Use the shorter ribbon to tie around all of the ribbons. I just tied it in a knot and trimmed it close.
Step #6
Trim the ribbons so they are mostly the same length.Step #7
Now you have a completed tassel.You can use it as an ornament for your tree, to decorate your house or as a cute adornment for a gift.
