Tassel Bracelets DIY

Grab your fabric scraps because we're taking the DIY train to tassel town! I raided my scrap box (okay, it's more like a warehouse) and made colorful tassels and then attached them to a funky bracelet.  Now you might want to hang them on a doorknob, attach one to a skeleton key or your keychain.  Whatever you decide to do with them, I promise these little tassels will make you very happy! 
Have fun!  xoxo, Mark





See how I made them here!
STUFF YOU'LL NEED
Large zip ties
Strips of scrap fabric

Ribbon and trim

  1. I *just might* be secretly cursing you right now for giving me a reason to hold on to my scrap yarns that - up until this morning - I had made myself okay with purging. But I love these bracelets so much!! I want to make a million of them. I've got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for later today that links to your tutorial: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/?p=84143 --Anne

  2. That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, Anne! I find that the minute I toss something an idea pops into my head and I always regret throwing it away.......Ugh! Crafters are hoarders and we just have to come to terms with it. Thanks for the post, you're awesome!

  15. These are so cute and justify my reasoning not to get rid of anything- you can always make something from whatever you have lying around- my craft area is full of things like this just waiting to be transformed!!
