DIY Pom pom

A tassel - also known as a pompom - is one of those accessories that is seen returning every year in clothing collections, as a home accessory, for personal accessories and for many other purposes. They are available as a fur tassel made of rabbit fur, an artificial fur tassel made of acrylic, yarn and many other materials. If you love this trend and you like DIY (do-it-yourself) projects, there is good news for you. You can make your own tassel/pompon at home without any hassle.

A homemade tassel / pompom - creativity for everyone

Making a tassel is not as difficult as many people imagine. In fact, there is a whole range of different kits with instructions on how to make your own tassel with ease. Some are easier than others. A typical kit for making a pompom comes in the form of two circles with equal-sized holes through them. If you want to make a tassel out of yarn, wrap the yarn around the circles until the hole in the middle is completely filled. Then cut or trim the sides and slowly separate the circles until it is possible to tie a thread around the centre of the tassel. The circles are then removed and you are left with a nice, full, homemade tassel of yarn. The different 'make your own kits' come in many different sizes, so you can adapt your tassel/pompon to your needs. On the internet you can quickly find a good pattern to follow or make a purchase of a DIY pompom kit.

A homemade tassel / pompom - the only limit is your imagination

Once you have made a tassel from yarn or yarns, the possibilities of what you can use them for are many. This is even a creative process that you can usefully involve children in. For example, you can use your tassel for a hat, both for winter or as a Santa hat for Christmas. If you want to spice up your wardrobe, a tassel is also often seen used at the ends of other outdoor clothing such as shawls, scarves, ponchos and more. If you want to attach your DIY tassel/pom-pom to zippers, bags or key rings, it's easy and simple to sew a thread through to act as a handle.

You can customize your homemade tassel to seasonal colors, to your own preferences or to one specific garment. If you don't want your tassel of yarn for hats or other purposes to be a solid colour, you can experiment with using multi-coloured yarn. If you don't have multi-coloured yarn, this can be solved by tying different coloured yarns together. The only thing to remember here is to place the knots in the middle so they don't show on the final result.

It's easy, fun and educational when it comes to DIY quilting. It's even an inexpensive way to spruce up old things. Have fun.
