I may be a little late to the tasseled jewelry trend...but I'm no stranger to a statement necklace (I've made a ton of statement necklace DIYs in the past!) I finally bought myself a tassel maker to experiment with making tassels for different kinds of jewelry and I'm pretty much obsessed with how this DIY tassel necklace turned out.
I combined some colorful stone beads with some glass and crystal beads and attached them all together in a collared necklace design with some fun and flirty tassels made using embroidery floss hanging off the ends of the beads!
This necklace looks harder to make than it really is. With just a few basic jewelry making skills, you can make your own version too! And you technically don't even need a fancy tassel maker either: there are some YouTube tutorials you can look up for how to get by without one. Don't skip out on adding the tassels though: they make this necklace so fun!!! Here is the step-by-step instructions so you can make your own version :)
Supplies:
Needle nose pliers, wire cutters, round nose pliers, small cable chain, eye pins, large and medium size fuchsia stone beads, large and medium size purple glass & crystal beads, a tassel maker, embroidery thread, thin wire, jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp.Instructions:
Cut three lengths of small cable chain to your standard necklace length
Using a long eye pin, thread on a large fuchsia bead and then thread the eye pin through the center of one of the pieces of chain. Add on a round purple bead and then thread it through the middle of the second length of chain. Finally, add on a smaller fuchsia stone bead and then thread it through the middle of last piece of chain.
