I have seen these cute tassel keychains and cell phone danglers popping up in local stores and online, so I wanted to show you just how easy it is to make your own. Embroidery Floss Tassels can be made in almost ANY color, since there are limitless types and colors of floss. Plus with the metallics and reflective polyester fibers you can get some gorgeous tassels.

You could also hand these tassels off a backpack or on a purse, or even use them in decorating. Make them in holiday colors and turn them into Christmas ornaments. They really are just that versatile.

Plus they come together in about 2 minutes. YES.. they are seriously that fast. I put together a video to show you exactly how quick they come together.
SUPPLY LIST:
Jewelry Rings (with claw clasps)Super Glue
Scissors (I obsessed with the non-stick teflon kind)
Standard Embroidery Floss or
Radiant Treasures Embroidery Floss (as seen in tutorial) or
Light Effects/Metallic Embroidery Floss
TUTORIAL:
Step 1:Pull out approximately 24 inches of floss from the skein and set aside.

Step 2:
Slide the sleeve of the skein down to one end but don’t remove it completely.

Step 3:
Slide the ring over the sleeve on the skein.

Step 4:
Slide the ring off the sleeve and into the center of the skein. You can remove the sleeve at this point.

Step 5:
Fold the skein in half on the ring. You want to make sure you have lined up both ends, since that is the bottom of your soon to be tassel.

Take the extra 24 inches of floss and wrap it around the very top of the tassel, just below the ring. You want to make it as tight as you can.

Step 7:
Tie off with a square knot. Again, you would like this to be as tight as possible so the tassel doesn’t loosen up.

Apply a tiny drop of super glue to the knot. This is to keep it from unwrapping, especially once you trim the ends. Allow to dry completely.
![tying-tassels-so-they-don't-fray.jpg Tying tassels so they don t fray](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-E_zI3J5nmq8/WeD3fZ6mJHI/AAAAAAABlag/8H3fNWs5AsQieuu0-l4djYYhcu_lmxQ-ACHMYCw/tying-tassels-so-they-don%2527t-fray.jpg?imgmax=1600)
Trim the ends of the knot. You can use a needle to push the knot up and under the wrapped thread to hide it.
![making-your-own-tassels-from-thread.jpg Making your own tassels from thread](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G2Z-d-1sxFM/WeD3dopP2ZI/AAAAAAABlaQ/N6dtRRtN--AtQCvJXQsWrRBsJCTPeFDdQCHMYCw/making-your-own-tassels-from-thread.jpg?imgmax=1600)
Cut the loops apart, making sure you have them as even as possible.
![DIY-embroidery-floss-tassels.jpg DIY embroidery floss tassels](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zwfRxWiUgoQ/WeD3ZhpSUEI/AAAAAAABlZw/n_vWlfniK6QJLTL5mQYE6-X753exXkyzgCHMYCw/DIY-embroidery-floss-tassels.jpg?imgmax=1600)
Hold the loose ends in a closed fist and cut them off even with a sharp scissors.
![trimming-ends-of-diy-tassels.jpg Trimming ends of diy tassels](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xko340tCIUM/WeD3fKpu1HI/AAAAAAABlac/TJsVApeQZoI1u6H2U9e7JPmXmeievR5oQCHMYCw/trimming-ends-of-diy-tassels.jpg?imgmax=1600)
This will make a little bit of a mess.
![how-to-make-your-own-tassels.jpg How to make your own tassels](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SmKFO_xXGmU/WeD3cY2zIVI/AAAAAAABlaI/cpfpc0MEXiwqsqv_2oAlLl3MHRUFoBJcACHMYCw/how-to-make-your-own-tassels.jpg?imgmax=1600)
Now you just need to fluff the tassel and separate the floss into it’s individual threads. This gives it fullness and makes it look really expensive.
![silver-metallic-embroidery-floss-tassel.jpg Silver metallic embroidery floss tassel](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uPjZZ0xTV8M/WeD3eSsyr5I/AAAAAAABlaY/6mafGJpEm8YsbdX0hg83M5zDd-6SwiB1ACHMYCw/silver-metallic-embroidery-floss-tassel.jpg?imgmax=1600)
This is such a fast and easy project, that looks a lot more complicated than it really is. You could make a bunch of tassels in no time!
