How to Make Leather Tassels (DIY Gift Idea)

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:

how to make 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!!!

    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!

    LOVE them- especially because it’s metallic leather. I soooooo have a thing for that. These turned out great & yes, I will be making some of my own.

    Have a fabulous Friday my friend & I’ll see you later today.
