Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Gather your materials.
Step 2
Wrap yarn around the pompom winder. The more you wrap, the fuller your tassel will be.
Tip
If you don’t have a pompom winder, cut a piece of cardboard into a small rectangle. The length of your cardboard will be about the same as the length of your tassel so use that to determine sizing.
Step 3
Slide the yarn bundle off the winder. Then cut the yarn at one end.
Step 4
Cut a strand of yarn that’s about the length of your forearm.
Step 5
Lay the cut bundle of yarn on the strand you cut. Align the bundle so it’s centered.
Step 6
Tie the strand around the bundle of yarn.
Step 7
Sweep the yarn bundle down so that all the strands are in the same direction.
Step 8
Cut another strand of yarn and wrap it around the yarn bundle close to the top. Keep wrapping until you achieve your desired tassel look. Tie the strand in a double knot.
Then tuck the ends in and pull through!
Step 9
Hold the ends of the tassel with your fingers and trim with scissors like you are giving your tassel a haircut!
Step 10
(Optional) Give your tassel some personality with KiwiCo wiggly eyes!
Final result!
