DIY Embroidery Floss Tassels 3 Ways

In just a few simple steps (and under fifty cents each!) you can make trendy tassels perfect for dressing up bedding, clothing, lamp pulls and more.

I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but tassels are kind of having a moment. They have been popping up on jewelry (loving this bracelet) and clothing (this tunic makes me pine for summer), but my favorite place to see these colorful accents is in the home. Ever since my friend Emily Henderson wrote about this gorgeous guest room, I have been obsessed with that bedding. I knew I had to figure out how to DIY them.
