This lovely accent to any area combines quirky tassels with the soft glow of a chandelier to create an original and elegant addition. This project is entertaining and fulfilling regardless of the place you’re decorating—bedroom, living room, or even an outdoor area. We’ll walk you through the process of designing your very own tassel chandelier in this article.
Resources Required
Get ready by compiling the following resources:
- An embroidery hoop made of metal or wood works nicely.
- Yarn or embroidery thread in the colors you like.
- Cutters
- Hot glue gun with glue sticks
- String lights or an LED light driven by batteries
- Either strong thread or fishing line.
- (Optional) beads
- Hooks used in hanging
Making the Tassels
Here is the step-by-step guide on the proper way to make a tassel chandelier:
First Step: Cut the Yarn
Starting at your desired tassel length, cut many pieces of yarn or embroidery thread. Given that you will be folding each piece in half, each should be double the length you like your tassel to be.
Second Step: Create the Tassels
Fold a bun of chopped yarn in half. About one inch from the top, tie a knot around the folded end using still another strand of yarn to form a loop. Your tassel will have this highest point. Cut the ends to guarantee they’re even.
Third Step: (Optional) Add Beads.
Before making the knot, tie beads onto the yarn to give your tassels some additional flair. This accentuates your selected color scheme and offers a decorative element.
Fourth Step: Repetition
As necessary to cover your chandelier frame, make as many tassels. The size of your hoop and how full you wish your chandelier to seem will determine the amount of tassels.
Construction of the Chandelier
Now that we’re done with the tassels, it is time to create a chandelier through the following steps:
Fifth Step: Link the Tassels.
Attach every tassel to the hoop by running the fishing line or strong thread. To get a layered look, tie the tassels at different lengths. Make sure they fasten themselves to the hoop firmly.
Sixth Step: Add the Illumination.
Around the hoop, wind the LED or string lights. If you have string lights, be sure the socket or battery pack is easily reachable. If needed, hot glue the lights so they won’t move out of alignment.
Seventh Step: Hanging the Chandelier
Cut multiple lengths of fishing line or thread, then equally fasten them to the hoop. Collect the ends and knot them to create a hanging loop. Attach hooks you are using to the ceiling and hang your chandelier.
Eighth Step: Last Touches
Make any last changes to the lights and tassels to guarantee their equal distribution and appearance of balance. Turn on the lights and appreciate your handwork.
