How To: Cool Bookmark Tassel

DSC_0010.jpg
I started to experiment with cool looking tassels because my dad made a bookmark for my mom's b-day gift and he asked me to make a tassel for the bookmark. I thought i could do it so I tried until i made one that looked really good, when i showed everyone else they told me it looked really good. My mom barely believed we made it.

Step 1 Materials

remove the string from your hand, take another length of string and thread it through the loop and make sure you leave a good amount of string on either side then tie a knot.

cut the loop and trim to desired length

tie the ends together in a double knot (like in the 4th picture)

Step 5 Attaching the Tassel
