How To Make A Yarn Tassel Christmas Tree Sign
Gather up the following supplies to get started making your own DIY tassel Christmas tree sign. To help you find these supplies I've added a link to help you find them quickly.
Supplies Needed:
blank wood sign (from Walmart) or a thin piece of plywood cut to size (8" x 10")
thick yarn ( I used this yarn)
tassel maker (this one works well) or a 3" piece of cardboard or just use your hand
Instructions
STEP 1 -
Prepare your wood sign or piece of plywood by painting it. Dry brushing the paint onto the sign will give the wood a more rustic look. Let the paint dry completely.
STEP 2 -
While the paint for the sign is drying you can start making the tassels. There are some great tassel-making tools you can buy online that easily make a variety of different size tassels. For this project, the number of tassels you need to make will vary depending on the size of your wood sign. You will want to make your tassels about 2" to 3" in length.
For this tutorial, I'm going to explain how to make a tassel using your hand. To begin, cut a length of yarn 5" long and set it aside. Next, hold one hand flat with fingers together then wrap the yarn around all of your fingers approximately 15-20 times creating a thick loop of yarn.
Remove the loops of yarn from your hand making sure to keep them together. Tie the short piece of yarn around the top third of the tassel to create the head. Cut open the loops on the opposite end from where you tied the yarn.
After the tassel is securely tied trim the long ends of the yarn so they are even in length.

Continue making tassels until you have 10 - 15 tassels.
STEP 3 -
Lay out the tassels and the small tree branch (stick) onto your wood sign in the shape of a tree. Adjust the length of the tree branch by cutting it shorter if needed.
Start at the bottom with the stick (tree trunk) and work your way to the top of the tree laying the tassels down in layers. For a taller tree start with 5 tassels on the bottom and reduce the number of tassels by one for each row as you go up. The tassel heads should be covered by the next top layer of tassels as you work your way up the tree.
STEP 4 -
Once you have the tassels arranged how you like, it is time to hot glue them onto the wood sign. Again start with the bottom row first.
Next, glue the second row of tassels just above the first row making sure to slightly overlap the new row.
Add the final tassel to the top of the tree gluing it securely to the wood sign.
Yeah, you are all done!
I know you are going to want to make more than one of these fun tassel tree signs! Consider making the tassels in a variety of different lengths for each sign you make as well as using a different color yarn for each tree too. You could even add small beads to the yarn tassels as ornaments or a wood star to the top too! The ideas are endless. I'd love to know how your tassel Christmas tree turned out!
