Here is What You Need:

Med (4) Yarn - Assorted Colors

Jingle Bells

A Tassel Template 

First Let's Make The Template

Measure And cut a piece of cardboard.

2 X 5 Inches

Wrap yarn around the template length wise 

for 30 - 40 wraps. The more wraps the thicker

 the tassel. Set it aside.

Cut 2 pieces of yarn about 14 -16 inches.

Fold 1 in half and thread it on the needle.

Tie a knot about 1.5 inches from the top to form a loop.

 lace on the beads.

Tie a knot under the beds.

Cut the yarn loops off the template.

Lay them between the 2 strands of yarn.

tie securely.

Fold The yarn down.

Tie the 2nd Strand of yarn around the top of the 

tassel about 1.5 inches down.

Do not cut the yarn strands yet.

Tie a bow around the tassel.

Add a button or bead if desired, to the bow.

Trim the tassel, but do not cut the 2 long pieces of yarn.

Tie the bell onto the long yarn pieces and knot securely.

You want the bell to hand at the trim line.

Hang Them on your Tree, 

or use them as decorations on

 stockings, gifts, banners and buntings.

So many ways to use them,

and make fun memories.

Live Video Chat - How to Make Tassels | Posh Pooch Designs

In Today's Live Video Chat With Sara of

 Posh Pooch Designs

we are going to discuss Tassels.

First of all how do you pronounce it?

 Do you say ta-ssel or taw-ssel?

I suppose it depends on where you are from?

The first thing we need to establish is,
 what is and what isn't a Tassel.

Pom poms are shaped like Yarn balls, 
Fringe is similar put on in a row to form
 a sort of edge or "curtain".
A Tassel is an individual 
Fringe with more 'strings", and usually hang separated.

For me,  the easiest way to make tassels

 is with a piece of card board.

Cut your card board into a rectangle,

 the length you want your tassel to be.

Wrap your yarn around the board gently and evenly, 

until the tassel is as thick as you would like it.

I usually wrap my yarn about 25 times.

Cut 2, 12 inch pieces of matching yarn.

Slide 1 piece of yarn  through the loops to the top,

 and tie a knot.

Slide the tassel off the board

Tie around the center of the tassel with the 2nd piece of yarn.

Slide it up some, about an inch from the top, and tie securely.

Cut the bottom of the tassel, and trim evenly.
