Adding tassels to everyday items you wear can add a much-needed pop of color or a personal expression of your whimsy. It can be simple to add tassels to clothing or accessories. For the most part, you can buy ready-made tassels and hand sew them on or tie them to something you wear.
Tassels come in various materials, lengths, and just about every color you can imagine. You can buy tassels at most craft stores, fabric stores, and of course, online. If you want to make your own, these places also have the materials you will be looking for.
You may even have the materials at home. Think about using embroidery floss, yarn, twine, rope, etc. Luckily embroidery and knitting are huge hobbies, and you can find lots of supplies at craft stores.
Mixing materials can be fun too. Adding a little sparkle to the tassels or a bead to the neck of the tassels will give it an extra flash.
Tassels also are sold as trim, meaning they come attached to something that keeps them spaced nicely and sold by the foot or in pre-cut packages.
Here is a great video on how to make tassels.
