DIY Fall Tassel

Hello Sweet Friends,
Recently, I found some plush yarn at my local Dollar Tree. It is a muted orange/rust color and I knew I wanted to use it for some type of fall craft. Originally I was thinking some type of pumpkin craft, but in the end I decided to create a fall TASSEL! I had all the other supplies I needed in my craft stash, so this little project was very inexpensive to create. I hope you like it as much as I do! Tassels are such a FUN way to make any decor more PLAYFUL.

Supplies needed

orange/rust plush yarn (Dollar Tree)
other narrow ribbon of your choice
waxed thread
two large wood beads and several mini wood beads
small embellishment
square coaster
scissors
glue gun

If you wish to create a simple tassel, all you need is the orange plush yarn. But, of course, I always like to mix it up a little so I also added some narrow buffalo check ribbon, lace ribbon, and beads for this tutorial.

Begin by wrapping the yarn around a coaster (or other square item) forty times.

Using a length of the waxed thread, tie off one end of the yarn bundle.

Slide off of the coaster and cut the end of the tassel opposite of the waxed thread.

Add any other ribbons and tie with the thread to attach.

Wrap the tassel with a length of the plush yarn.
