Yo. What’s up. Today I wanted to share the easiest tassel tutorial ever. I give you: Easy Sequin Tassels. I made these for my balloon Valentine’s but they could be used in so many other ways. I would love to get a gift with one of these cuties. Or hung on a Christmas tree!
I like how these sequin tassels are a little bit looser than a normal tassel. And that they don’t require you to wrap things tight around your hand so it gets stuck and you feel like a nerd trying to get it loose. Or maybe i’m just doing it wrong…They way I did this tutorial, you make two at a time.
The main supply that you might need to order for this craft is the sequin trim. I picked this up at Paper Mart (hey Orange County – their warehouse is in Orange and you can will call your orders. HUGE! Your welcome.) Then you just need yarn or string to tie them off and scissors. Nothing complicated about this.
There are no measurements for this. Wing it. You will need to cut of a length of the trim. Loop it about 4-5 times. Pull the yarn through the sequin loops on one side and tie a knot.
Do the same thing on the other end. Or don’t. If you want to do just one long tassel, you would cut the loops and then trim up the ends so they are even.
If you do want two, cut them apart in the middle. One side will be a little bit more full due to it having an extra loop.
Super easy. Super sparkly. Super fun.
How would you use these sequin tassels?
You can even make them in to a garland. This one is totally whack but sometimes that is just how my crafts go. I was too lazy to dig around my garage for the perfect thing to hang them from. But you can see the potential and if you are so inclined, make it better. I also like things messy so I like the pop of color from the yarn ends. Feel free to trim it off if it offends you. This couldn’t be any easier, right?
i like them taped on the wall! it’s the new garland
Totally, Lauren! Who needs a pesky string?!
I agree with Lauren. They look awesome all taped up on the wall.
