How To Make A Leather Tassel

May 22, 2017 by Ashley Mayes Leave a Comment

As I was styling the entryway, I felt like the space was lacking some texture. You might be surprised to hear, but I don’t have a lot of “extra” styling vases, decor pieces, etc. I do have a few things, but definitely not a ton. Anyways, tassels are everywhere these days and I’ve been crushing on them. If I would have thought about using tassels in the space before the day I was going to shoot the space, I might have purchased one or two. But, I didn’t think about it, which ended up being a blessing because I got crafty for once and it was a success. So, without further adieu, here’s How to Make a Leather Tassel!

For my larger one (which is perfect for a doorknob), the fabric size was 8″ by 29″. I made a smaller one too and it was about 4″ by 15″.

Cut your fabric to size and then start cutting little strips making sure to leave about ½” at the top that is uncut.

That’s it! Super easy and fun. If you notice on my leather, I have some markings on the larger tassel. My leather piece had some imperfections in it, but I think that only adds to the charm.
