2. Slide a piece of yarn under all the yarn wrapped around the cardboard, then double knot it at the top. Cut all the yarn on the opposite side, then tightly double knot a piece of yarn near the top to make the head of the tassel. Tightly double knot a piece of yarn underneath the previous piece of yarn and cut off all excess yarn and scraggly ends.

3. Measure and cut out a 4.5×6.5″ piece of cardstock.

4. Fold the cardstock in half length-wise. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge with a foam brush on the inside of the cardstock, then fold it back and let it dry.
