Tassel Ornament is a Unique And Practical Gift!

Supplies Needed for a graduation tassel ornament:

• Graduation Tassel
• Clear Glass Ball Ornament (purchased at any craft store)
• Paintbrush or Straw
• Glue

Optional Supplies:

• • Paint Marker in school colors (purchased at any craft store)
  • Paper Confetti in school colors (cut your own from scrapbook paper)
  • Curling Ribbon in school colors
  • Decorative Ribbon in school colors

Let’s Get Started to Make a Graduation Tassel Ornament!

Step 1: Carefully take the cap off of the ornament and cut a slit from hole to hole in the cap with a pair of scissors. The metal is thin and will cut easily. Add school colored paper confetti and curling ribbons into the glass ball before gluing the cap on for a burst of fun and color, especially if you have a generic gold colored graduation tassel!

Step 2: Feed the graduation tassel strands into the hole.

Step 3: Push the remaining strands of the tassel into the glass ball using a paintbrush handle or straw if you need some leverage to get it all in.

Step 4: Thread the graduation tassel’s loop through the hole on the cap of the ornament.
Tip: Be careful! Use caution because the metal may be jagged where you cut it.

Step 5: Squeeze some glue along the inside rim of the cap. Replace the cap back on the ornament and let it sit to dry.

Step 6: Pull the loop end of the graduation tassel completely through the top and replace the metal hook back in the cap.

Step 7: Using the metal hook at the top of the ornament, tie school colored ribbons in a bow.

Step 8: Using a paint marker, personalize the ornament with a name, school name and/or degree and then your graduation tassel ornament is ready to hang on your Christmas tree!

That’s all you need to make your very own graduation tassel keepsake!

Put it in a gift box and you have a memorable, unique and practical gift for your graduate. Anything that you can do to turn memories into keepsakes is a great way to prevent storing a pile of memorabilia that never gets looked at again. Now, every Christmas you can reminisce about your educational achievements and experiences.
