How To Make DIY Graduation Tassel Garland Party Decorations

Are your party decorations ready to graduate to the next level? DIY Tassel Garland seems to be all the rage these days. They are easy to make and only require a few basic supplies. I wanted this garland to be Graduation themed, that’s why I added small details like gold star buttons and yarn in school colors to make this DIY Graduation Tassel Garland extra special!

Supplies:

• Yarn (school colors)
• Scissors
• DVD Case
• Gold Star Buttons

Step 1: Wrap several layers of yarn around the DVD case lengthwise. Then, carefully slide the yarn off the DVD case keeping the loop shape intact.

Step 2: Next, cut an 18-inch string in the contrasting color and tie it about an inch below the top loops. Secure with a double knot making sure to leave a tail about 2 inches long.

Step 3: Now, wrap the rest of the contrasting color around the top portion of the tassel. Make sure to leave a couple inches of yarn at the end in order to tie the button on in the next step.

Step 4: Next, thread both tails in the contrasting color through the button hole. Center the gold star to the front of the tassel, and secure with a double knot.

Step 5: Now, take your scissors and cut the bottom loops open to create the fringe of the tassel.

Repeat Steps 1 – 5 alternating between colors.

Step 6: Finally, transform your individual tassels into a beautiful Graduation Tassel Garland with one last step. Simply weave a string for the tassels to hang from through the open loops at the top of each tassel.
