Next you need to create your tassels, you will need 14 tassels to tie on in between each flag. You can use as many or as few colours as you like, in this project we have used 7 colours and made 2 tassels in each colour.

Follow the instructions from the tassel maker to make the tassels, we used the smallest setting on the large maker and wrapped the wool around 20 times for each one. When tying your tassel on the frame, keep those strings longer than the rest of the tassel so you can attach them easily later on when tying them to the string.

Attach your tassels to the string by looping the wool around the string together and tying into a knot.

Then, using a yarn needle, thread the ends under the wool that holds your tassel together. Trim the ends of the wool and repeat between each flag, alternating the colours.

Next, we need to make 6 pom poms. To create your pom poms, follow the instructions on the box. We used the smallest pom pom maker in the set.

Keep the ends of the string holding your pom pom together long for the next step.

Now we can sew our pom poms onto the flags that won’t have writing on (this will be the 4th and 8th flags). You can leave this step until you’ve completed the next step if you’re worried about sewing them on the wrong flags.

Choose 3 pom poms and sew them in an upside-down triangle shape onto the flag, with two on the top and one underneath.

Tie off on the back in a double knot and trim the ends.
