Learn to make this super simple necklace in minutes! Tulle has this young, fun quality to it (think floucy tulle skirts!) and would hardly be associated to accessories but we think they do a good job at being super cute tassels! Tutorial begins below.

Instructions

  1. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093308 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b1

    Cut the tulle into 8cm x 8cm squares. Stack about 4-5 pieces on top of each other in random orientations to create more volume.

  2. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093320 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b2

    Find the centre of the stack of tulle and pinch to gather.

  3. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093328 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b3

    Using needle and thread and leaving a small ball at the top, secure the tulle pieces together. It might be useful at this point to wrap the thread around the ball a few times.

  4. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093346 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b4

    This step is purely optional, but we used some embroidery thread to cover the sewing and add some colour.

  5. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093407 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b8%2b

    Pierce an open jumpring through the top layers of the tulle tassel and you’re done with one! Now repeat steps 1-5 to create another (or more!) tulle tassels.

  6. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093418 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b5

    Moving on to thread tassels! Wrap the embroidery thread around your fingers, the length of the loop should be about 5cm.

  7. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093501 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b6

    Snip off the final 10cm and use it to tie the bunch of threads together near one end of the loops.

  8. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093521 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b7

    Using a scissors, cut and separate the loop end on the opposite side of the knot, and even out the lengths with a few trims.

  9. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093538 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b10

    It’s time to get creative! Play around with different combinations of beads and tassels. The beads and tassels slide along the ball chain very easily and its easy to change things around. Secure the end of the ball chain stopper when done.

  10. Small 110937 2f2015 09 10 093553 ooh%2b %2btulle%2band%2bthread%2btassel%2bnecklace%2b11

    And you're done!
