How to Make a Fall Yarn Tassel Garland

Learn how to make a fall yarn tassel garland using fall-colored yarn tassels, wooden beads, and twine to make a garland.

Step 1. Make yarn tassels in each of your yarn colors using our tutorial.
I wanted to make long yarn tassels to give the garland an elegant vibe, so I used the cardboard method to make these tassels.
The cardboard piece is 8" front top to bottom so I was able to make much longer tassels than I could using my hand to wrap the yarn into tassels.
I wrapped the yarn around the cardboard 35 times to make these tassels.
Step 2. (Make sure you use this tutorial showing how to make yarn tassels, and then continue with this step.)
Trim up the bottom of the yarn tassel so it's neat and even.
Step 3. Cut a long piece of twine, and thread an embroidery needle onto one end.
Begin threading yarn tassels and wooden beads onto the twine in whatever order you choose.
I picked my yarn tassel color order and then added one tassel, one bead, one tassel, one bead - in that order until they were all used up!
Step 4. Tie knots in the two ends of the twine.
Your garland is now ready to hang up on the mantel!

Medium-weight yarn (typically, the cheap kind!) works best for this type of tassel. It makes a nice tassel that hangs well as part of a garland!
If you want to make tassels that are longer than the width of your hand, use the cardboard method of making a tassel. (Both methods are outlined in our tutorial!)
Wood beads are a beautiful addition to a yarn tassel garland. You can use a variety of bead sizes or keep it simple like I did and use beads of just one size.
