How to Make Large Decorative Tassels
- 1). Cut a piece of cardboard to measure 5 inches by 4 inches, using the ruler and scissors.
- 2). Wrap the yarn around the cardboard, lengthwise, 20 times. Cut the yarn end.
- 3). Cut two 8-inch lengths of yarn, and slide one under the wrapped yarn at the top of the cardboard with your fingers. Tie the length of yarn into a secure double knot. This yarn will be used to attach the tassel to the desired object.
- 4). Cut the yarn along the bottom edge of the cardboard. Slide the wrapped yarn off the cardboard. Lay the yarn on a flat surface, like a table, with the tied edge at the top.
- 5). Slide the second 8-inch length of yarn under the bunch of yarn one inch from the top edge. Wrap the 8-inch length of yarn around five times, and tie it in a secure double knot to complete the tassel.
