Tutorial Tuesday (on a Saturday): Totally Tassels!

This little guy is my proudest achievement! When it comes to amigurumi, the devil is in the details! Simple techniques like edging, embroidery, and tassels can really make a difference.

Materials:
Sewing needle
Two 10" pieces of embroidery thread

Follow the instructions below and you'll be tasseling in no time!

Tassel:

1. Separate out one thread from one of the strands of the embroidery thread, the remaining strand will now be called the “partial strand” 

2. Wrap whole strand  (shown in red) around the partial strand (shown in blue) and the single thread (shown in purple)

3. Thread single thread into sewing needle, wrap around top of twist many times, tie off and sew into middle of wrapped section

4. Twist the partial strand firmly and fold together so it twists around itself

5. Tie bottom two ends together in a single knot at desired length, trim ends
