As I was putting up my Christmas tree this year I felt like it needed some type of black ornament to balance out all of the silver and gold. The tree was leaning a little more boho this year with the addition of some wooden bead garland, so I ran with it and pulled together these easy tassel ornaments.

SUPPLIES:

black yarn
1″ round wood beads (I used these from Hobby Lobby)
3/4″ round wood beads (I used these from Hobby Lobby)
scissors
thin piece of wire

STEP ONE: Loosely wrap the yarn around the base of your fingers 25 times.

STEP TWO: Gently pull the yarn off your hand and run a 12″ long piece of yard through the top loops and knot in place.

STEP THREE: Cut the bottom loops.

STEP FOUR: Tie a 6″ piece of yarn near the top of the tassel and knot in place. Cut any excess yarn from the knot and even out the bottom of the tassel.

STEP FIVE: String the wooden beads onto the top of the tassel. Make it easier by using a thin piece of wire to thread the yarn through the beads.

STEP SIX: Knot the top of the strings to use for hanging the ornament.

Enjoy!

Christmas Home Tour

Holiday Burnout set in hard this year, which is why I am sharing this year’s Christmas Home Tour at the very last minute.

DIY felt pads

The baskets I used to organize my pantry needed some felt pads on the bottom so they wouldn’t drag and tear up the paint on my shelves. And the way it felt when dragging out the baskets gave me the same feeling as nails on a chalkboard. Yuck. I needed something larger than the felt…
