DIY Ribbon Tassels by LeslieWritesItAll

Tassels are everywhere nowadays. They are actually super easy to make and personalize. This step by step tutorial will show you how to make a ribbon tassel. Tools you’ll need (links to products found in blog): Scissors Ribbons of your choice 2-Ply Lame Cord Lobster claw clasps key rings A paper clip Step 1: Pick your ribbons Begin by choosing ribbons in a similar color scheme. The ribbons I chose here are in beige, white, and gold. I added some lace ribbon for a little bit of a vintage feel. I chose ribbons with different textures (a polka dot burlap ribbon, a sheer ribbon, a lace ribbon, and a cord with gold weaving). Step 2: Choose your desired length I decided to make a tassel with various lengths between 3 to 4 inches. Since we will be folding the ribbons in half, make sure to double the length of the ribbons before cutting them. The ribbons I cut were 6 to 8 inches. After you have the desired number of strands cut, line them all up. Step 3: Weave the ribbons through the key ring Gather the ends of the ribbons and weave them through the swivel end of the key ring. Try to position the key ring in the center of all the gathered ribbons. Fold the ribbons over the key ring so we can begin to tie them all together. Step 4: Tie the ribbons together with lame cord Double up on the lame cord about 12 inches in length (so about 24" total). Tie a basic knot (like the first step of tying your shoe). Make sure to tighten so all the ribbons are firmly held together in the knot. Wrap the cord around the ribbon for several turns until you can’t see the ribbon underneath. Step 5: Hiding the ends of the lame cord Once you’re happy with how the cord is wrapped (mine ended up being a little less than 1/2” thick), tie a double knot. You want to try to position the knot so that it’ll be at the top towards the clasp and close to where all the ribbons meet. It’s important to position the knot here so that the ends and the knot can be properly tucked and hidden away. Once the double knot is tied tightly, cut the ends, leaving about a 1/4” to 1/2”  of lame cord sticking out. Using the end of a paperclip, tuck the loose ends and the double knot into the fold where the ribbons meet. This will hide the knot so the gold lame cord wrap looks seamless. And that's it!
