Part II in the Ombre Embroidery Floss Tassel series. [caption id="attachment_12114" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Pretty, isn't it?[/caption] Continuing down the pathway to pretty ombre embroidery floss tassels, next up is this dainty pearl-tipped tassel. I know you want to make one... You Will Need: [caption id="attachment_12092" align="aligncenter" width="600"] One skein of embroidery floss is enough for one tassel[/caption]

• Embroidery floss skeins
• Gold metallic thread
• Scissors
• Split rings and clasps
• Leather scraps
• Pearl beads

  Here’s How:

1. Wrap the entire skein of embroidery floss around all four fingers of one hand. Cut two 5-inch lengths of floss from the end. [caption id="attachment_12099" align="aligncenter" width="600"] The more you wrap, the fatter the tassel[/caption]
2. Tie one scrap in a knot through the top fold in the loop.
3. Tie the second scrap length in a knot about ½ inch below the top knot.
4. Snip the bottom loop threads.
5. Feed a pearl through the top knotted threads.
6. Wrap the metallic thread over the second knot a few times and knot. Trim ends.
7. Thread the split ring or clasp (or both) through the top knotted scrap thread and knot. Tada! Instead of a split ring, you could attach an earring finding to make the first of a cute pair of pearl tassel earrings!
