    Fabric tassels are easy to make from nearly any type of fabric, as we showed in this tutorial outlining how to make fabric tassels.

    Today, we are going to turn a pile of fabric tassels into a beautiful rustic chic fabric tassel garland that's ready for your mantel!

    Here's how to make it!

    How to Make a Fabric Tassel Garland

    Step 1: Gather Supplies

    Supplies Needed:

    • Fabric - we used shop towels from Dollar Tree but you can use nearly any fabric to make tassels with.
    • Scissors
    • Twine
    • Hot Glue Gun and Glue

    Step 2: Use this tutorial that shows you how to make fabric tassels.

    Make a handful of tassels; enough to span the length of your mantel.

    10 to 12 tassels is probably a good number for a decent-sized mantel.

    Less for a small mantel like ours (we used 8 tassels), and more if your mantel is a long one.

    Step 3: Cut a length of twine that is long enough for your mantel.

    Step 4: String on the fabric tassels.

    Step 5: Tie knots in the ends of the twine and hang up the garland.

    Simple, classic, and perfectly rustic.
