diy tassel ornament

I’m currently loving pom poms and tassels…………on everything…………….as seen here, here and here.  I just can’t help myself.  So obviously I needed to add some pom poms and tassels to my Christmas tree this year.  I can’t wait to show you the pom poms, but first let’s talk about the tassels.

These are literally the easiest tassel ornaments you can make.  I mean, I kind of probably shouldn’t even call this a “diy” but hey, there is some assembly involved.  You can literally make like 3,000 of these little guys while watching The Voice…….ask me how I know?  ðŸ˜‰   The pictorial below will walk you through. 
the easiest way to make a tassel ornament
Do you see how easy these are?!  Even if you’ve already decked out your tree you could still add a few of these little cuties.  (Little tip: The best deal on tassel trim is at Hobby Lobby.  That’s where I purchased this burlap tassel trim, and they have lots of other options at great prices.)  These tassels would also be adorable as gift package add-ons or used as napkin rings on your holiday table!  The options are endless really.  You could even attach a little jump ring (found in the jewelry department of any craft store) and make wine glass charms!  
Being a book nerd I decided to string two tassels together and make a sweet little bookmark.

These tassel bookmarks would make great gifts for your book club friends.  
I love how easy these are to make!  Deconstructing a tassel trim is a whole lot easier than making tassels from scratch, and with Hobby Lobby’s low prices I think this might even be a less expensive alternative.  Either way I’m clearly tassel obsessed.  Am I alone?

  • Yes, they WOULD make great gifts for YOUR book club friends. 😉 Just kidding.

    But I love your tassels. I used a cheap matelasse bedspread to make pillows once, but cut off the tasseled trim and saved it (for years.) I should get that out and make some ornaments!

  • I love this idea, Carmel! It's just adorable. BTW – the only way that I'm able to view your blog is to click on it via Bloglovin. If I try to go straight to your blog, the Chex ad comes up and covers the whole screen. When I 'x' out of it and move my mouse from the sidebar slider back over your blog, it comes right back. I was trying to pin something from an older post of yours and couldn't. :/

  • Thanks Suzy! That Chex Mix ad is on my last nerve! I am trying to get it off my site! I hate aggressive ad campaigns like that and am working with my ad networks to weed all of those out! So sorry for any inconvenience. Hoping to get that cleared up asap!
