DIY Bohemian Tassel Crown: Easy Step-by-Step Guide from a Craft Expert

Introduction

As a seasoned crafter with years of hands-on experience creating boho accessories, I've found that a simple twine-wrapped garland makes the perfect base for vibrant tassels. Add as many as you like, tailored to your color scheme for a personalized touch.

Make the Tassels

Gently pull 6 to 8 inches of embroidery floss from the skein and cut it off. Cut this piece in half, then tie one half securely around each end of the skein. Knot tightly, wrap a few more times for a clean finish, and secure with another knot.

Cut the Skein in Half

Ensure both ends are firmly wrapped, trimming any excess if needed. Slice the skein in the center to yield two individual tassels.

Wrap a Crown Shape with Twine

For efficiency, start with an 8-foot length of rope, folded in half. Wrap it around your crown form, securing with double-sided tape. Cover the entire shape evenly, adding extra twine to thinner spots for texture and full coverage. Knot securely at the back and trim excess.

Attach the Tassels

Cut short pieces of twine to tie each tassel to the crown. Knot around the tassel's top, then wrap the excess around the form to anchor it firmly.

Braid Twine for Hanging

Braid three strands of twine into a sturdy loop and glue it to the wreath's top. For festive flair, I added a small bell and gold ribbon.
