How to add a Tassel String

how to add a tassel to your tie string

Lately everything in the DIY community seems to have the motto, ‘put a tassel on it’. Tassels are everywhere! They are on our home decor, jewelry, hair accessories, purses, and of course, our clothes. We have learned how to make tassels from leather, embroidery thread, silk, yarn, and even from t-shirt fabric. But the one thing I couldn’t seem to figure out, was how to get that tassel onto a basic waistband tie (without taking the time to weave the entire tie from scratch). When I stumbled across these fabulous dip dye tassels from Women’s Shop World Etsy store, I knew it was time to figure out how to attach the all mighty tassel to some new pajama shorts.

  • Time needed – 20 minutes
  • Skill level – Beginner

MATERIALS:

  • Tassels
  • Embroidery thread
  • Embroidery needle
  • String
  • *Optional – needle nose pliers

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step One – Pull the end of your string through the top of your tassel thread loop. Needle nose pliers help in this process.

Step Two – Pull the string through the top thread until about 2″ is sticking out. Tie a knot in your string.

 

Step Three – Push the string tail up, and tie a knot with the embroidery thread around the base of your string knot.

Step Four – Start wrapping the embroidery thread around the string, continuing to wrap until you reach the end of the string tail. Tie a knot.

 

Step Five – Using an embroidery needle, slip the thread through the wrapped section, and cut to finish.

 

Repeat for the other side, and you are finished!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…

Happy sewing!
