Trim all your tassels to your chosen length. The tassels pictured all measure 4 inches in length.
Top Tip - For a neater finish, your tassels might benefit from being steamed to straighten them


Cut a long piece of string and lay it down flat. Place the tassel down on top of the string a 3rd of the way up as pictured. Wrap the strings over, tie and secure with a knot. With your darning needle take both of the loose ends of the tie and wrap around the tassel once and thread through the back of the tie. Repeat Step 7 with the next two tassels.



With your darning needle, thread the tails at the top of one of your tassels up and through the top of another tassel so both sets of tails meet.


Knot both sets of tails together making sure not to secure to tightly. Thread ONE set of tails back through the tassel trim to the length of the tassel.


Repeat Step 8 – 9 to secure the last tassel, end by threading both sets of tails back into the tassel.

To create a garland Repeat Step 1 -10 to create as many tassels you desire.
Cut a piece of thick string to your desired length secure and knot one end with a loop.

With the thick string insert your darning needle above the tie of your tassel and through the middle of your tassel to thread onto the string to create a garland.




Thread the wooden beads onto the string in your desired order. For this garland I threaded 2 small beads then one larger bead followed by a further 2 smaller beads.



Repeat step 12 – 13 as many times as desired to create your chosen length garland.
