Tassel Bookmarks

     Tassels are quite versatile and can be used in multiple ways. Tassel bookmarks make great gifts and with graduation season upon us, you could even make one in your grad's school colors for a simple, practical gift!


Supplies:
- Yarn or embroidery thread
- Thick paper or cardboard
- Scissors
- An embroidery needle


      Start by wrapping your yarn or thread several times around your hand. I wanted mine to be more chunky so I wrapped it about twenty times.
