How to Make a Yarn Tassel: The Simple Steps
Ready to get started? This is a super simple guide on how to make a yarn tassel.
What You'll Need:
-
Yarn or embroidery floss in your favorite color
-
A piece of cardboard (a credit card or your phone works great!)
-
Sharp scissors
-
A keychain ring
The Steps:
-
Wrap it Up: Wrap your yarn around the piece of cardboard. The more you wrap, the fuller your tassel will be (about 20-30 times is a good start).
-
Tie the Top: Cut a separate piece of yarn (about 6 inches long). Slide it under all the wrapped strands at the top of the cardboard and tie a tight double knot. This will be the loop that attaches to your keychain.
-
Cut the Bottom: Slide the wrapped yarn off the cardboard. Use your scissors to cut through the bottom loops.
-
Create the "Neck": Cut another piece of yarn. About an inch down from the top knot, wrap this piece tightly around all the strands several times to create the tassel's "neck." Tie a secure knot and trim the ends, or tuck them into the tassel.
-
Attach the Ring: Thread the loops from your top knot through your keychain ring.
-
Give it a Trim: Neatly trim the bottom of your tassel so all the strands are even.

Your handmade tassel is beautiful! Now, how do you make it a truly personal, lasting keepsake? By pairing it with a professionally made, personalized charm from Almagems. This turns your cute craft into a deeply meaningful treasure.
