DIY- How to Make a Tassel Blanket

In this DIY project, we’ll teach you how to add textured fringe to create a fun tassel throw. Follow these simple steps and create your own!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Blanket
  • Yarn Spool
  • 6”x6” Cardboard Square
  • Scissors
  • Needle
  • Thread

Here’s how you do it:

  •  Hold the end of yarn firmly and begin wrapping it around the cardboard square repeatedly.
  • Do this 50-100 times depending on how full you want your tassels to be. We wrapped the yarn 100 times to get a fuller look. Cut the end of the yarn once you’ve finished wrapping.
  • Next, cut a short piece of yarn from the spool and tie a knot around the middle of one side of wrapped yarn.
  • Flip the cardboard square over to the opposite side of the knot and cut through the middle of the wrapped yarn to remove it from the cardboard.
  •  Fold the yarn over the knotted seam so the ends are all on one side. Cut another medium piece of yarn from the spool and wrap it around the base, about an inch from the seam, several times. Tie at the end to secure it.
  • To attach the tassels, use the needle and thread and stitch onto the blanket. Tie a strong knot and the end to secure each tassel.

Add as many tassels as you’d like to achieve this whimsical look.
