How to Make Tassel Earrings

These earrings were inspired by but what else, tassels! Only takes about 20min - 30min to make a pair. Directions below.

Supplies


Wrap yarn around index card 11 times. Take a second piece of yarn and string in under all the yarn at the top of the index card, tie a knot.


Cut the bottom of the yarn so their are no more loops. Trim bottom of tassel so it's even.


Open up bell cap prongs with needle nose pliers. Place glue in side top of bell cap and glue the tassel to it. Pinch bell cap on all sides to hold tassel.



Bend wire with pliers(refer to picture above). String two beads on wire. Bend wire around earring hinge to attach tassel. Cut excess wire. Done
