How To Make A Tassel Keychain For Mother’s Day

This simple craft is a snap to put together, so kids can make it themselves. Here’s how to do it!

Step 1

Start by determining how long you want your tassel then double that length. Cut a piece of your yarn to that length.

Step 2

Now, cut several strands to that same length. Don’t skimp on how many strands you cut because you want your tassel to be nice and full!

Step 3

Gather the strands together and put all of the strands through the hook portion of the keyring.

Step 4

While holding the end of your yarn, pull the keyring to the center of your yarn pieces.

Step 5

Cut another length of yarn (make this one really long and you can trim it down later).

Step 6

Tie the yarn around the tassel as shown below. Then, wrap it around your tassel several times.

Tie it a second time with a double knot.

Step 7

Trim all of the yarn to the same length (including these tie strings) with scissors.

Your tassel keyring is complete and ready for gift giving! It’s a perfect gift for Mom for Mother’s Day or any occasion. You could also make these for friends, family, or yourself!

It’s quick and simple, right? In fact, this craft is so quick that you can make a bunch of these in just minutes. You might also want to try to make our pom pom key chain.
