I have not done a DIY in what feels like the longest time but truth be told I haven't really been inspired to create or make anything but this tassel pillow cover has been on my to do list ever since I laid my eyes on similar ones from Zara & H&M home. This is probably one of the more simpler DIY's perfect for everyone (even those who claim they can't make or do anything creative, we all know we've heard that excuse before).
For this DIY you will need the following:
+Different Coloured Threads
+A needle
+A Pair of Scissors
+PVA glue or fabric glue
+A Pillow case
The first step is to simply bunch up your thread using your fingers, all you have to do is grab one end and wrap it around your four fingers until you are happy with the amount. You will need to repeat this for all the colours of your chosen thread along with the number of tassels you would like, I chose to do 12. The more times you wrap the thread around your fingers and the greater loops you create the fuller your tassel will be at then end, keep that in mind!
You then need to select one of your coloured threads again to create the loops for your tassels, simply pinch the tops and wrap the thread around the top a few dozen times just to secure it and then repeat this will all your tassels.
We're almost done, simply snip the ends of the loops to create the tassels. They may look messy but don't worry we'll be fixing that later, the most important thing right now is to make sure they actually look somewhat like tassels and not loose pieces of string.
Time to neaten things up a bit! Trim the ends of the tassels just so they are all of a similar length and here's where the PVA/ fabric glue comes in to hand. The glue is to stick the loose ends together at the top where we made the loops with the separate pieces of string.
All you gotta do now is position your tassels on your pillow case, I made 12 so there would be 4 down each side but you can space them however you like. Last but not least grab your needle and feed some thread through so you can stitch the tassels on to your pillow case, alternatively you can use glue but stitching it on is a lot more secure.
And you're done!
