SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- 1 Skein of each colored yarn: white, taupe, soft pink, orange, teal, burgundy
- 1 Spool of cording, any size
- Cricut machine - optional for pennants
- Scissors
- Tassel maker or a scrap of 4" wide cardboard
- Crochet hook
- Download geometric template
- Paper glue - Tombow glue with green lid
- Assorted paper or cardstock in colors that work with your yarn selections
DIRECTIONS: FOR THE BOUQUET
- Mini Tassels: Place a 6" piece of yarn on one thin edge of the cardboard scrap. Wrap the yarn around cardboard about 15 times. Cut one end with your scissors.
- Carefully slide off cardboard as a group with the spare strand at the top.
- Take a piece of 6" yarn and wrap around close to the top of the grouping to create a head. Tie the tassel onto the cording. Tie in a knot and then slide ends thru the tassel with the crochet hook. Trim the rough hemmed edge.
- Continue to make tassels and attach to the cording until you have reached the desired length.
- Paper and yarn garland: Make the tassels and set aside.
- Create geometric shape on your Cricut machine or you can cut them with scissors or and x-acto knife. When you make the geometric shapes you will want to also make a tab at the top of the shape so that you can fold it over to glue around the cording.
- Fringe: To make the fringe on the garland, you will cut pieces of yarn that are 4-6" in length. Fold them in half and loop over the cording. It looks best in groups of 6 or more strands. You can place the yarn groupings in front of the geometric shapes or beside them.
Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:
- Try not to have to colors right next to each other. It looks best if you mix up the placement of the color groupings to appear more whimsical.
