Lets Make Some Fabric Tassels!


 
Let's make some fabric tassels, OK?  I think these are fun to make, can be made out of any fabric and are so cute hanging on door knobs and/or cabinet knobs.  So, let's get started.
 
 
You will need:
 
Scissors
Cotton Fabric
Ruler
Hot Glue Gun
 
To start off, tear - it's very important that you tear and not neatly cut these strips - your fabric strips.  I tear mine 3/4" wide x the width of the fabric - normally 45".  You want to cut  six strips. You will use five for the tassel and the extra one for the hanger and to tie off your tassel.
 
Then you will cut the strips in two - which means you'll have five strips 3/4" x 22.5".
 
 
 
Fold the strips in half and take your extra strip and knot at the top.  This will be your hanger.
 
 
Go down 1 1/2" from the top and wrap tightly with your extra strip.  When you get this wrapped, hot glue it.
 
At this point, you will want to trim up your bottom of your tassel in case you have any strips that are way too long.
 
 
You can see in this photo, I made one of mine a tad smaller.  Just trim them to the length you want.
 
These are fun to make in any color you want, very little fabric is required and they are super quick.
 
So, go make yourself some tassels.
 
Enjoy!
