Step 1

Cut three long lengths from each skein of yarn.

Step 2

Align the ends and tie a knot at one end to hold them together. Tape the knotted end to your working surface.

Step 3

Separate them into three groups then braid the groups until you reach a length that will fit around the outside edge of the top of your tub. Knot the end.

Step 4

Hot glue the braided yarn around the top, outside edge of your tub and trim excess yarn.

Step 5

Cut your recycled cardboard down to 4" [10.2 cm].

Step 6

Cut a 10" [25.4 cm] length of yarn and an 18" [45.7 cm] length of yarn. Set aside.

Step 7

Wrap yarn from skein around the cardboard piece several times, until you get the desired fullness of your tassel. Cut yarn from skein.

Step 8

Slide the 10" [25.4 cm] piece of yarn between the loops and the cardboard and move up to the top. Tie a knot at the top of the loops.

Step 9

Carefully slide the loops off of the cardboard. Wrap the 18" [45.7 cm] piece around the outside of the loops, about ½" [1.27 cm] from the top knot. Wrap around the tassel a few times and tie a knot in the back. Trim ends and if desired, add a dab of glue to secure ends.

Step 10

Cut the bottom loops open and trim to even tassel strands.

Step 11

Repeat Steps 6-10 for as many tassels as you would like to attach around your tub.

Step 12

Tie (or hot glue) your tassels in place.
