How to make your own dip-dye tassel garland

I fell in love with yarn projects during the fall season, and now, while doing yet another yarn project, I found another love. DYE PROJECTS!

This holiday season, I really wanted to make my own garland for Christmas, but I couldn’t decide what kind. In stores, I saw a lot of wooden beaded garland that I loved, but I thought it would be cheaper to buy it at HomeGoods than make it myself. In the fall, I already made a pompom typegarland, so I wanted to make something new.

While checking out boutiques, I saw a tree that was covered in bohemian-styled tassels, and I loved the idea of tassel garland. I have French doors that open into my office, and they needed some love! After all my fall adventures in crafts, I had a ton of leftover yarn. I just needed some dye and wooden beads.

WHAT YOU NEED

Rope

Yarn

Dye

Wooden beads

Scissors

Tape

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut pieces of yarn into double the length you want your tassel to be (they will be folded over)

Get 15 pieces and line them up

Tie the pieces together using another piece of yarn. Double knot to secure. With the piece you used to tie them together, thread it through a wooden bead. If you are having trouble, stick the two pieces of yarn together using tape, thread it through and then remove the tape

Tie that thread into a loop

Once you have made enough tassels for your garland, prepare the dye according to instructions. Dip each tassel into the dye and let dry

Cut the rope the length that you want the garland to be

Once the tassels are dry, cut the loops open and tie them onto the rope. Space them out evenly. For extra embellishment, fray out the ends of the rope and add a wooden bead.

Hang and enjoy!
