These colorful tassels are made from…. old jeans! Not only do these tassels look gorgeous but they are pretty robust too. No chance of them falling apart as they are made from fraying large squares of scrap denim from old jeans. Claire from Pillar Box Blue shares a tutorial showing how to make them. The size you make depends on the size of the scrap denim you use. Make large ones to use as curtain tie backs or door decorations, smaller ones to decorate cushions and blankets. Or how about making some to wear as earrings or a necklace. So many possibilities!
