We are no strangers to tassels up in here, right? There were THESE tassels. Then there were THESE tassels and then there was the time I made THIS with tassels. Tassels are the best. They are easy to make and cheap too – and while “easy” and “cheap” are not words that you want used to describe yourself, they are great words for describing awesome craft projects.

Today, I’m stacking up some tassels to create a new version inspired by a tote bag I saw at Target a few months ago. Immediately, I knew it was DIYable. So lets make some DIY tiered tassels. You’re gonna love em. I just know it. Here’ what you need…it’s not much:

Use embroidery floss to create bold DIY tiered tassels for your beach tote.

MAKE A TASSEL

Remove the wrappers from the embroidery floss skein and trim off a two bits of floss / Use one piece of floss to tie off the skein in the middle / Fold the embroidery floss skein in half / Use the other piece of floss the tie off the top of the folded skein / Use scissors to snip off the end / Continue making these tassels until you have 7 or 8

  1. So fun!! I want to tassel everything lately. Thank you for the how-tos—you totally rock the tassel! 🙂

  2. I MUST have this bag! Ugh…. can’t find at Target. Probably sold out since Fall stuff is out. The bag itself is so DIY.
