DIY: Tassel Keychain - by Shira

These DIY segments, starting with this one, will all be featuring arts and crafts created by the lovely Shira (because she is more artistic than I am)

How to make a DIY tassel for your keychain

Materials:

-String or embroidery floss of your choosing (I used three shades of purple)
-Scissors
-A key and a keychain


Step 1
Cut string for desired tassels. 
I wanted 3 tassels, so I cut 3 strings each of a different shade of purple. 
Any length works, mine were cut to about 3 feet.




Step 2
Once string has been cut, wrap around one finger.




Step 3
 Remove the coil from your finger, and cut a new length of string using the same color.
 Put the new string in the coil, going through it evenly.
Tie a double knot.



Step 4
Once knotted in the middle, cut through the strings. 
The tassel should now look like the picture below:



Step 5
Using a different color, tie a knot around the tassel. 
Cut off any excess string.



Step 6
 Tie the tassel onto they key chain.
Repeat steps 1-6 to make as many tassels as wanted!




Ta Da!
