This is an easy DIY project to make super-long tassels for use with your keychains and bookmarks for your planners and notebooks. If you need the materials like the suede strings or the cord ends, drop me a note at hello@wahsosimple.com. Have fun making your tassels! =)

Cut each strand of the suede string into 4 equal parts. I used 4 strands of suede strings, so that gave me 16 short strands. You can use fewer strands (12 maybe?) but I like my tassel to be fat, thick and abundant. =)
Use the thick thread to tightly tie all the short strands together, tie them slightly to one side of the middle. I used a ruler to help me estimate the middle and moved about 0.5 centimeter to one side of the middle. Cut off the extra thick thread.
Fold the longer ends downwards to cover the thick thread.
Put some super glue to the folded end of the suede strings.
Squeeze and push the folded end into the large cord end.
Trim the ends to make them neat.
Secure the tassel to the keychain hook with a round ring.
Done! You can also skip the keychain hook if you are planning to use the tassel for other purposes.
