One of my FAQ’s is how I come up with\u00a0all of my DIY’s, and if it isn’t an idea born out of a need, then\u00a0most\u00a0of the time I’m not entirely sure (so boring and unhelpful of me, apologies), but this project reminded me of a huge source of inspiration, one that I enjoy terribly and always wish I had more time for: shopping. \u00a0Yes to\u00a0more excuses to shop!<\/p>\n
Some kind of idea always comes to me if I walk around window shopping, like maybe I spot a pattern or a color combo I like, and when that recently\u00a0brought me to\u00a0a window display full of black tassels, I said black tassels I must make. \u00a0I loved<\/em>\u00a0how the\u00a0monochrome\u00a0design looked so chic and modernized\u00a0a simple idea. \u00a0The texture of the tassels still bring a summer vibe despite the lack of color, and though this project could easily be done with more colors,\u00a0I find it so striking and unexpected to do it all in black.<\/p>\n Materials:<\/strong><\/span> There’s three parts to this project, all very simple- the beads, the tassels, and the assembly. \u00a0First the beads:<\/strong><\/p>\n For the tassels:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.

I folded Washi tape into a flag shape on the end of a skewer then slid a wood bead over on top of it to keep it in place. \u00a0I made seven of these and used a foam brush to paint each bead with black acrylic paint.<\/p>\n![\"beads\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/beads1.jpg\")
To let the beads dry, I stuck them upright into a cup filled with a few wood beads at the bottom to\u00a0hold the skewers in place.<\/p>\n![\"How](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/How-to-make-a-yarn-tassel.jpg\")
Fun fact- I only use this notebook for making yarn tassels.<\/p>\n
\n2. Wrap yarn over this piece and around the notebook 30 times and cut off the excess.
\n3. Taking that first piece of yarn at the spine of the notebook, double knot it tightly around the wrapped yarn.
\n4. Cut the yarn down the side that’s opposite of the notebook spine.
\n5. Lay the tassel on a piece of yarn,\u00a0then double knot it to create the head of the tassel.
\n6. Cut off any scraggly excess ends at the bottom of the tassel.<\/p>\n![\"hangings\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/hangings1.jpg\")
I cut a wood dowel to about 24 inches in length before painting it black with a foam brush and acrylic paint, then tied each end\u00a0of a piece of yarn to each end of the dowel. \u00a0With the dowel hanging, I tied on a piece of yarn at the end of the dowel and double knotted it with the knot facing down. \u00a0From here on out, I reinforced every double knot with a dab of super glue to prevent the knots from slipping out.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"double](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/double-tassel-2.jpg\")
For the middle three hanging yarn pieces, I added a second tassel in between the bead and the tassel hanging at the bottom. \u00a0I tied it on using the top strands of the tassel that were tied together in step 3 of the tassel making instructions, cutting off the excess after double knotting. \u00a0I also tied an extra piece of yarn around the bottom of the head of this tassel and the yarn it’s hanging from to better keep it in place.<\/p>\n![\"DIY](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DIY-Modern-Tassel-Wall-Hanging-.jpg\")

I do plan on\u00a0using more\u00a0color this summer, just like last summer, but I had to get this one out of my system, and probably many more like it to come, ha. \u00a0I always always always come\u00a0back to black (and white) so\u00a0sometimes I feel like I should switch it up and\u00a0branch out, but also maybe it’s just what I should stick to. \u00a0I think about this a lot for\u00a0all the redecorating decisions I’ve been trying to make, and a black and white space is something I bet I’m always going to love.<\/p>\n
