Kids Craft: DIY Tassel Bookmarks

Teaching my kids the love of reading was something that was very important to me as a mom. When my kids we re younger I created a reading tent (I’ll add the link at the bottom of the post). I gave them a certain number of minutes per day that they had to read in order to earn screen time. It became one of our FAVORITE summer traditions! And I am so happy to say that all of my kids are huge readers now! These DIY Tassel Bookmarks are not only adorable but also customizable, allowing kids to infuse their personality into their reading accessories. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating these charming bookmarks.

Supplies Needed:

  • Wrap the Yarn: Place the end of the yarn in the left notch of the tassel loom. Wrap the yarn around the loom several times, depending on the desired thickness of your tassel. Approximately 20 loops should suffice.

  • Tie the Center: Take a 6-inch piece of string and wrap it around the center of the looped yarn, securing it with a knot. Fold the ends of the tassel loom in half.
  • Trim the Tassel: Use scissors to cut along the indentation at the bottom of the loom, shaping the tassel.
  • Attach the Head: Take a 12-inch piece of yarn and wrap it around the head of the tassel. Tie it securely with a knot, leaving two longer strands from the knot for attaching the tassel to the bookmark. Trim any excess yarn.

Making the Bookmarks:
