Wrap yarn around the width of your cardboard. The more you wrap the fuller your tassel will be. I&#8217;ve wrapped around 12 times.<\/p>\n<p>2. Tie a length of yarn to the top with a knot.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cut the bottom loops of the wrapped yarn and remove cardboard.<\/p>\n<p>4.

Now thread the loose ends from your tie yarn in step 4 into the body of the tassel by pulling it through with a crochet hook, or using a tapestry needle to weave it in.<\/p>\n<p>6. Thread wooden beads through the top length of yarn if desired and attach to project. The wooden beads are handy for hiding yarn ends.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55647\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured.jpg\" alt=\"How to make a yarn tassel - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-330x247.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-615x460.jpg 615w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-featured-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to share Emma&#8217;s poncho with you, we went out on the weekend and I managed to get the cutest photos of her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have fun making your tassels!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55648\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished.jpg\" alt=\"How to make tassels from yarn scraps - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished-600x802.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished-330x441.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tassel-finished-344x460.jpg 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yarn tassels are a fun and easy way to add a finishing touch to knitting and crochet projects.
