DIY Tree of Life Tassel Earrings
Tassel earrings aren’t exactly a new concept but lately I’ve been seeing them everywhere. In honor of Earth Day, I thought it’d be fun to create a pair of DIY tassel earrings inspired by the park’s towering icon, the Tree of Life.
I’d consider this more of a DIPY (Do It Partly Yourself) over a DIY (Do It Yourself) since I bought the tassels pre-made. If you’re feeling ambitious or have a little more time on your hands, follow these instructions to make your tassels from scratch.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR DIY TREE OF LIFE TASSEL EARRINGS:
Scissors
Green Mini Tassels (Find all sorts of colors here! There are lots of options.)
Matching Colored Thread
INSTRUCTIONS:
Lay out your tassels in the order you want them to be.
Double thread your needle and triple knot it.
Starting from the bottom, take your first tassel and push the needle through the center. Make sure it goes through the middle (took me a few tries – it’s a little tricky) so that your tassels line up on top of each other once they’re stacked.
Pull the thread all the way through and repeat for the next two tassels.
When you reach the end, tie another knot through the top tassel.
Open up an earring hook and slip the needle end through the group of tassels.
Repeat steps 2-6 to make the matching pair and then you’re done!
