DIY Zipper Pulls Part 3

This is the last of my 3 part series on zipper pulls.  These tassel like zipper pulls are super easy to make, so colourful and you can make them in 5 minutes! 

The look awesome added to a new quilted bag or spring/summer purse because they add such vibrant colour and a big splash of happy.


What you will need:
6 Skeins of different coloured embroidery floss
Scissors
Lanyard Hooks
Source for these:

How to make it:

1. Remove the sleeves off of your main colour (the one you want to have as a tassel).
2. Cut a 36” length from the remaining 5 colours of embroidery floss.
3. Using the first colour and starting in the center of the skein, tie one of the 5 colours around the center of the skein and wrap it around the skein tightly, leaving a length of floss to tie to the next colour

​4.  Continue to tie and wrap other colours evenly on each side of the center wrap incorporating your tied ends into the wrapping until it looks like the picture below

5.  Bend your skein in half and using about 10” of the last colour of floss, tie your wrapped loop, split the floss in half and use these split ends to tie it tight. 

6.  Cut the looped ends of your tassel so that they are even

7.  Attach your lanyard hook onto the top of the wrapped loop and attach it to your zipper! 

Bright pretty and practical!

I had so much fun making them, I got a little carried away!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, that's the end of zipper pulls for now. Happy Tuesday! ?
