Make your own chain tassel
While chain tassels are available ready-made, by making your own you can customize the size, chain, and color of metal to your liking. This technique works not only for a fun necklace, but can be used for tassel earrings, a tassel pendant, or even a decorative tassel for a bracelet.

Step 1
Cut your chain into small sections. I used 6 pieces, 1 1/2 inches each.
Step 2
Open the end of the eye pin, add the chains to the loop, and close. Tip: If the loop is too small for your chain, you can use a jump ring to attach the chains to the loop instead.
Step 3
Slide the pin through an end cap. Grip the wire as close to the base as you can with pliers, then bend the wire at a 90 degree angle.
Step 4
Trim the wire down to about 1 cm and bend into a loop with round nose pliers to finish the tassel. Use the loop or a jump ring to attach to your jewelry.
