I am in love with tassels.
I just want to put a tassel on everything — purses, keychains, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, even gifts. So when Leather Hide Store contacted me to see if I was interested in making something with their leather, I immediately thought of tassels!! I especially loved their GOLD leather – how pretty!!
Another thing I love about tassels is you can make them in so any different sizes. Here’s how to make DIY Leather Tassels:
1. cut a section on leather 9 inches wide by the length you want you tassel. 6 inches is super long. 4 inches is what I made. 2 inches is a small tassel. And one inch is an earring size.
2.On the back side of leather, mark a top section and then mark vertical marks for the tassels. You can make them as thin or thick as you want. I marked mine with a ruler and pen and then cut them with scissors.
3. Cut the leather, you can use a fabric rolling cutter, or a pair of scissors.
4. Put chain inside the leather and then run a line of Fabric- Tac glue inside the tassel and roll it up.
5. Hold the ends shut with your fingers, or put a rubber band around the tassle until it dries.
6. Attach the chain to a Key Chain Ring.
On the necklace I made, I cut some very fine strips of leather and rolled them into the tassels, instead of using chain.
I think it would be such a fun idea to add leather tassle to the top of gift packages this holiday season. So pretty AND the can be used afterwards too!!!
And I made some tassel earrings too – such a fun gift idea. They would also make an aweome stocking stuffer!

Hmm, maybe a little holiday gift idea for my bunco girls?! I especially like the tassel necklace, but maybe because I am in desperate need of a long pendant necklace. Thanks for sharing the simple tutorial!
Hi Hollie!!
That would be such a fun gift idea for your Bunco girls. I love it!

OH my goodness, I want to make a million of them! Of course it would be this easy and I would never think of it on my own. Hahaha.
Thanks Nicole! You will love making them!
