Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a lovely (long) weekend! I've been meaning to make a tassel necklace and share the tutorial here for about a month, and could never find time to do it. But it's finally here and I'm excited to share the simple how-to. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

You will need :
- White embroidery thread (100% cotton). 5 sets of 30 strands, each strand measuring 24" + 6 extra strands, each measuring about 4" + 5 extra strands, each measuring about 12"
- Scissors
- 4" long piece of cardboard (width doesn't matter)
- Dye (RIT dye is available at Joann’s or Michaels for around $2.50)
- Table salt
- A bucket of cold water
- Hot water
- Rubber gloves
- 5 small recipients, plastic or metal. If you can't find 5, one will be enough (you'll just have to dye each tassel one by one in the same recipient, as opposed to dyeing all 5 tassels at the same time in different recipients). The recipient needs to be bigger than your tassels (i.e. at least about 2" in height).
- Teaspoon or small syringe
- Chain necklace
- Needle
STEP 1 : MAKE FIVE TASSELS

1. Start with a set of 30 strands, each strand measuring 24". Wrap the thread tightly around the cardboard.
2. Gently pull the thread off the cardboard.
3. Tie the center with an extra piece of thread (about 4" long).
4. Cut the loop ends at both sides.
5. Pull down the fringe and shape your tassel.
6. Take an extra strand, about 12" long. Wrap it around your tassel (about 0.4" from the top), knot firmly and trim.
7. Trim to make the fringe on the bottom clean and straight. Notice that I haven't been very successful at that ;)
8. Cut the top thread (the one we used to tie the center at step 3).
9. Repeat all these steps to make 5 tassels. Dont' worry : once you've made the first one, you'll be able to whip a bunch out in no time.
STEP TWO : DYE THE TASSELS
If you have five recipients, you can dye your five tassels simultaneously. If you have only one recipient, just dye your tassels one by one.

1. Fill each of your recipients with about one table spoon of salt. Salt will help drive the dye onto the fabric.

2. Put your rubber gloves on, as you're going to pour the dye. If you have a syringe, you will be able to be very precise measuring the quantity of dye, but using a spoon will work very well too. I tried both and both went fine!
3. In the first recipient, pour just a few drops : about 0.5ml or 1/10 teaspoon. Pour dye in all recipients at an increasing progression, at a difference of about 0.5ml each time. The last recipient should have a quantity of dye of about half a teaspoon.
4. Now fill each recipient with hot water and wait a few seconds for the salt to dissolve in the water.
5. Place each tassel in each recipient, starting by the last recipient (the one that contains the largest quantity of dye) making sure the tassels are fully immersed.

3. Wait just a few seconds before starting to take out the lightest shade first. Wash out the excess dye in your bucket of cold water. Then take out the next tassel, and repeat until all five have been washed out. Let them dry (mine took about 3 hours to dry).
STEP THREE : MAKE THE NECKLACE


You're done, enjoy your new necklace! Let me know if you have any question and I'll try my best to help you.


It looks so beautiful! But I think that's too diffucult for me...
ReplyDeleteOh it's really easy! Once you've made the first tassel, it goes like a charm :)
DeleteThat came out great! Would love to make one that went from turquoise to mint green.

I wanted to make one in mint but couldn't find any mint dye.. I hope you can find some :)
DeleteMe too! I also would love to make one in shades of coral. Any tips?
DeleteThis is so sweet! Reminds of me of a cute schoolgirl look :)

DeleteWhat a wonderful Idea. And such a nice tutorial. I love the necklace.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you so much!
DeleteDon't know if it's something that I would personally wear, but I love the colours and it is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWell maybe you could make a tassel garland instead of a necklace? Or add tassels to a neutral pillow?
DeleteThis is lovely and easy to make!! a must have for the summer!!! it would be cool to try it in different colours and different tones so could go with most of the outfitts! :) thanks for sharing!!!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lilly! And I agree that it would be fun to try it in other colors..I think I'll try a classic off-white to dark grey next. Thanks so much for your kind words!
DeleteGray ombré sounds lovely!
DeleteThis is adorable! I'm addin this to my summer DIY list!

ReplyDeleteI would love to know where you come up with these ideas! They're so clever and beautiful. I love the pink and red colors you choose :)
ReplyDeletexo.
This is lovely. I rather like this idea. New follower!
ReplyDeleteHi! I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. How many "skeins" of embroidery floss did you use? I had one and was cutting it and ran out before I had enough threads to make one tassel. Are you separating the largers strands into smaller strands? I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill, I'm terribly sorry for my late reply. I missed your comment. If I remember well, I think I used about one skein of embroidery floss per tassel. I used thin embroidery floss and wanted my tassels to be thick, so it did require quite a lot of floss! My embroidery floss was made of 4 strands twisted around each other and I separated it to have 4 individual strands. Hope that helps!
DeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSadly I found your entire tutorial scraped on another site - here: http://mostlovely.net/diy-ombre-tassel-necklace/
As a fellow craft blogger I hate that there is someone taking advantage of your time and creativity :(
Unfortunately this happens all the time :( So sad. Thank you so much for the heads up, I really appreciate it!
DeleteSupercute!!
ReplyDeleteI want to try making one this weekend - where can you get a gold chain?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter & I made some today. We used colored embroidery floss, so we didn't have to dye anything (we cheated, I know :)) - they turned out great. Thanks! Paula & Dani
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I'm going to make an ombre tassel garland for my daughter's room!

ReplyDeleteThe next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not fail me just as much as this particular one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, nonetheless I actually believed you would probably have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.
