DIY Kraft Paper Tassels
If you love tassels like I love tassels then you look at the world in a unique way. Namely when you see something, anything, you ask yourself, "could I turn that into a tassel?" Could I add a tassel to that? Could I wear that tassel? Could I embellish something on my person, home, child or pet with that tassel?
You feel me?!
For the tasselers among us, here is a super fun, affordable and EASY DIY kraft paper tassel craft that will have you creating holidays so you can gift top with these kraft paper tassels.
Oh, how I love the ease with which these came together. I've combined three of my favorite craft tools: kraft paper, Sharpies and tassels. And don't forget you get to add a fun baker's twine, jute twine or narrow ribbon to these little gems.
Kraft paper tassels make excellent gift toppers, gift tags (write For: and From: on wide tassels ends), garlands and more.
Here's what you need to make your Kraft Paper Tassels
- Kraft paper
- Markers
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Baker's twine or thin ribbon
How to Make Kraft Paper Tassels
1. Cut a piece of kraft paper 12" by 3" wide. Adjust the width to your needs. 3" width will make a pretty standard medium sized tassel.
2. Cut a piece of baker's twine or ribbon to 10" long. You'll fold this in half and you want at least 4" on each end to tie a bow if you like.
3. Now fringe your kraft paper by cutting slits up the width of your paper about every 1/4". Make your cuts about 2 1/4" long so you have a 3/4" solid top to decorate.
4. when you're done creating your fringe take your glue stick and dab glue on the top end of your paper.
5. Place your FOLDED twine/ribbon on the glue and fold this so the glue secures the twine/ribbon.
6. Now, run a strip of glue along the rest of the top of your paper and start rolling until you reach 1 1/2" from the end.
7. Decorate this remaining 1 1/2" paper then glue and roll.
8. That's it! You have a tassel!
