Tassels are currently enjoying a huge comeback on international catwalks, and this season we can see them everywhere. Your own fashion-focused tassels can bring a fresh breath of air into your life. Fortunately, you do not have to be a goldsmith nor you need a lot of tools to make your favourite treasures yourself. All you need is a little piece of material, some yarn and your own creativity!

Follow your inspiration and let your imagination run wild! With the suggestions from Anchor you can give your outfit a very individual touch. The trendy tassels are made in no time at all and are true quick-change artists: on long necklaces they create a special chic touch, on wristbands they set casual ethnic accents and even shoes, tops and home textiles can be transformed with tassels to provide wonderful addictions. alone or in pairs, tassels can be combined with pearls and feathers using one or more colours for even more exciting effects.

Would you also like to have the right piece of jewellery for every occasion? Whether you are attending a business dinner, being invited to a special birthday or are looking for an extraordinary gift for a loved one, you will surely find an idea that will inspire you and that is as unique as you.

We hope you enjoy discovering, making and creating your new favourite homemade accessories from Anchor.

How to make tassels?

There are several ways to make tassels, the cheapest way is to use existing materials such as a piece of cardboard, scissors and thread (All Anchor threads are perfect for tassels, we suggest Anchor Stranded Cotton and Anchor Freccia to start):

Or you can buy a tool called a Tassenlichen which was idealised by designer Anke Muller and allows you to make several perfect and identical tassels in 4 different sizes as well as at the same time, saving you time and effort. See tutorial video here.
