How to Make Tassels
Materials:
Crochet thread (size 3)*
Tools:
Sharp scissors
Small clip board**
Comb
Clear tape

Directions:
1. Place the loose end of your crochet thread under the clip on the clip board and begin wrapping it lengthwise around the clip board - about 50 times. When you're finished wrapping, cut the crochet thread.
2. Cut a separate piece of crochet thread, about 12 inches in length, slide it under the crochet threads wrapped around the clip board and slide it down to the bottom of the clip board (opposite the clip end). Tie a loose knot.
3. Gently slide all of the wrapped crochet thread off of the clip board. Tighten the loose knot you created in the previous step and then double-knot it. The tails of this knot will be the threads you use to hang the tassel.
4. Hold the tassel up by the hanging threads, smooth the fibers down and then cut through the bottom loop with sharp scissors. Using a hair comb, comb through the fibers to smooth, straighten and untangle them.
5. Place the hanging threads under the clip on the clip board. Cut a separate piece of crochet thread 2-3 feet in length. Place this under the tassel on the clip board about an inch from the top of the tassel. Position this piece of crochet thread so that the side that extends to the left of the tassel is slightly longer than the tassel itself -- we'll refer to this as the short end.
6. Tie a tight knot around the tassel, creating the top of the cuff that will hold the tassel fibers together. After tying the knot, allow the short end to hang down as part of the tassel and then slowly and tightly begin wrapping the long end around and down the tassel. You can create a cuff and long or short as you'd like -- the cuff created in the video was wrapped about 6 times. When you're finished wrapping tie another tight knot allowing the tail to hang down with the other tassel fibers.
7. Again comb through the tassel fibers with a hair comb to smooth, straighten and untangle them.
8. To trim the bottom of the tassel and create an even cut, take a piece of clear tape and wrap it around the entire tassel at the point you'd like to trim. Cut right through the wrapped tape with a pair of sharp scissors. Remove the excess tape, shake out the tassel and trim any uneven fibers.
Helpful Tips:
• Place your ball of crochet thread in a bowl while you're wrapping your clip board. This will prevent it from jumping all over your work surface and leaping from the table!
• Experiment with all types of fibers when creating tassels -- yarn, sewing thread, embroidery floss, ribbon!

I like your demonstration very much .you speak clear and take your time explaining how to make a tassel.thank you
Out of all DIY tassel videos, I've seen, this is probably the best. Quick and easy, cool tip about taping the threads together before snipping off the ends of thread to make it straight. Thanks for this!
This is like... the most aesthetic tutorial I've ever come across.
That was indeed the best and most straight forward tassel instruction that I've heard in very long time. Thank you.
Your voice is sooo awesome :3 I thought I figured it out the first time I watched, but I keep coming back at each step to hear the instructions again! 😅
❤ thank you so much!
What a great tut, thank you so much. Finally, professional, no stuttering, no getting stuck, no repeating, just clear, concise, tutorial. I really appreciate it. I will watch all this person's tutorials.
Who knew making a tassel could be this easy. Another great tutorial. Thank you Robert,
Thank you so much Robert. I make lots of tassels because I crochet cross bookmarkers and most always have a tassel. Have a great day!
Finally a tutorial that makes sense!! Very thorough and shows ALL the steps. Thank you!
Thanks Robert for such an easy to follow tutorial and your voice is very pleasant to listen to!
Best tutorial for tassel making that I've seen. Concise, easy to follow and tassel looks beautiful. Nice job Robert!
Super good! Made a tassel for my bookmark (and added some beads before adding it) and it turned out great!
Just viewed a number of tassel how-tos & this is the best one I saw.
This video is soo simple, and best believe I am going to start making tassels right away. THANK YOU ROBERT
Wonderful! And Robert---you are a great host. Such a calm, pleasant delivery! XO
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! SIMPLE AND EAST TO FOLLOW AND UR VOICE IS CALMING... THANK YOU KINDLY!!
Your voice is so soothing.
Short & To The Point! Thank you.
I assumed they would be a lot harder to make, thank you so much for the tutorial, can't wait to try this out. :)
always wanted to know how to make these, but thought theu were difficult. you have dramatically enhanced my cord projects!!! thank you so much!!!!
Oh wow these are so much easier than I thought. Awesome video and instructions cant wait to make a tassel for my friends present!
I always thought that is way too difficult to make. Thank you guys for this tutorial! :)
This is truly the exact method for tassel making.thank you once again for a perfectly constructed tutorial.easy breezy!!
Wow, I've probably made at least 50 tassels over the years and NEVER heard about wrapping the thread in tape before trimming! Awesome suggestion, cant wait to try it. This will definitely improve my least favorite and most frustrating part of the process, as I always had trouble evening up those ends without sacrificing the tassel's length.
Love the tipp with the tape for cutting!
Awesome tutorial. Beautifully done!
Excellent video, Robert!! Easy to follow and understand from start to finish. Bravo!!!
+NG B Thanks for watching!

This.was the best tessel video that I have ever watched
Brilliant idea using the clip board! TFS!
JoAnn E I totally agree! Who knew, lol!
Lovely video. Pleasant delivery.
Thank you very much for the easy to follow instructions. For some reason, purchasing these for drapery tie backs are expensive for what they are tho they do add so much to the decor. And I have many windows. So this is great! I have a lot of embroidery floss so I know I will be able to find the right colors!! 😃👍❤
Thank you for your demonstration of making a beautiful tassel, the easiest and most understandable sample I have seen, now I think mine will look more professional.

fab, very clear and precise. thankyou from the UK
Thank you so much - this really helped in a hurry. Our cat destroyed the tassel on our daughters college cap. We chose embroidery floss - because we could get a extremely close color for the tassel. In the chance the college don't have an extra cap on hand.
Sorry for the delay with my comment.
Thank you so much for your helpful instructions.
