I am back with yet another trendy tassel project! This time I am making tassel earrings! I found some fun gold hoops with tassels hanging from the bottom on the Anthropology site that I just knew would be super simple to recreate.
I mean, why pay huge prices for designer styles when they are simple enough to make them yourself? Save some money and craft them in minutes with this tutorial!
I found some gold earring hoop findings that you can easily add an earring hook to, so all I had to do was add a tassel, assemble, and wear.
I used embroidery thread because I like the vast range of colors they have to choose from. You can use any craft thread or even yarn to make the tassel.
These are super simple to make, so let’s get started!
How to Make Hoop Tassel Earrings
Supplies:
- Hoop earring findings
- Earring hooks
- Embroidery floss: white (14m), navy blue (8 m), cotton cording
- Hot glue & gun
- Jump rings: oval shaped
- Jewelry making pliers
- Sharp scissors
Instructions:
Cut a 4-5 inch piece of thread off of the embroidery floss skein.
Feed the entire embroidery floss skein through an oval shaped jump ring.
Fold it in half. Tie a short piece of floss in a knot around the folded floss.
Wrap the floss ends around tassel and hot glue them down.
Add an oval jump ring over the floss you tied around the tassel.
Trim the ends of the floss. Use a hair comb to separate the strands and then smooth out the ends of the tassel. Trim again if needed.
Attach the jump ring to the earring hoop.
Attach the hoop to a hook and repeat to make two earrings and that’s it! So fun and trendy to wear!

Is the off-white color tassel made with the “cotton cording” you have on supply list? What is that? What size or where would I find this? Thanks- so cute!!
The off-white tassel is made with natural cotton cording. You unwrap it and use it like the embroidery thread.
What size are the hoops you use?
I used 40mm hoops. Click the link in the supply list and it shows you the size. I bought mine in a set of 3 sizes at Walmart.
How big are he oval jump rings that you used?
Hi Charlotte,
There is a link to them on Amazon in my supply list. They are 8mm.

Would it be possible to show a pic of the white embroidery thread while still on the spool so that I’ll know what I’m looking for in the store? Thanks so much!
Hi Tara,
Since there is so much interest in the white tassel earring added an image of the 14m embroidery floss to my supply list. I hope this helps.
Kim
Hi! I love them! Just a question, the white tread seems diffrent, more shiny, its some diffrent ype of embroidery floss?
Hi Helena,
The blue earrings are made with standard 8m embroidery thread. The white ones are made with the larger spiral 14m kind. So they are fuller. I hope this helps I will update the post.

How many did you use for a colored set? It looks like one whole thread for one tassel. Or did you use one for two?
Hi Andrea,
I used one skein of floss for each earring. So for one pair, you would need two skeins of floss.
Kim
I just LOVE these! Can’t wait to make them & other uses for the tassels.
I love these earrings! How would I make them if I wanted to blend two colors together?
Hi Nancy, I would look for embroidery floss in the two colors you want that are already a mixed or mix them your self. Buy the two colors, lay one edge of the floss over the other and use a comb to blend the two. I hope this helps.
