DIY Tassel Earrings
MATERIALS NEEDS:
- Old pair of hoop earrings
- Embroidery thread (optional 2 different colors)
- Scissors
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Cut the top and bottom of the embroidery thread.
2.) Separate the embroidery thread into 2 strings per section.
(One embroidery thread should give you 24 strands.)
3.) Take one of the equal strings and attach it to the hoop earring using the larks head knot method.
4.) Secure the knot tightly.
5.) If you're using 2 different colored threads (like me,) add 6 sections in the center of the hoop earring with the lighter thread and add 6 more sections of the darker thread on both sides.
6.) Repeat the same step for the other earring.
6.) Repeat the same step for the other earring.
7.) Trim the tassels to the desired length, comb the ends of the threads, and you are all finished!
*PRO TIP* Add a dap of glue to the back of the tassel earrings to prevent the knots from getting loose.
