You can buy tassels separately and attach them to any cording you like with a piece of coordinating ribbon and a skein of embroidery floss. It’s as simple as making a loop around the neck of your tassel and attaching that loop to the cording.
-
Decide how far you want your tassel to dangle from the cording. Cut a piece of ribbon that measures twice this length. Martha Stewart recommends using double-faced satin, silk, or satin-edged ribbon.
-
Use a hot glue gun to secure one end of this ribbon to the head of your tassel. Don’t worry about making it look nice--this seam will be covered by the embroidery floss.
-
Loop the ribbon (with the tassel attached) over your cording and hot glue the loose end to the other side of your tassel’s head.
-
Dab a bit of hot glue onto one end of the skein of embroidery floss. Press it in place over the ribbon and hold it down until the glue dries.
-
Wrap the skein of embroidery floss around the head of the tassel.
-
Dab a bit of hot glue onto the remaining loose end of the skein of embroidery floss. Tuck it beneath the rest of the skein.
