How to make a DIY tassel pillows

I am loving the new Hearth & Hand line at Target from Joanna Gaines. There are so many fun and decorative pieces available but when I saw the knit tassel throw pillows I had a light bulb moment on how to DIY tassel throw pillows of my own.

Yes, a true DIY’er falls in love with an inspiration piece and then says “I can make that myself”. Especially when that particular item is NO LONGER AVAILABLE! Yes, I can’t find it on the Target website anymore so I am determined to make it myself.

I’ve kind of, sort of been addicted to making pom pom garland and knew that I could make my own interpretation of the knit tassel throw pillows by using the same technique as the pom pom maker.

Coincidentally, I picked up a pair of white knit throw pillows at the thrift store for $5 but if you don’t have knit throw pillows you could use an old sweater or knit blanket to make your own slipcovers. Or you could just use a regular throw pillow you already have sitting on your couch.

Once you settle on the type of throw pillows you would like to use you need a piece of scrap wood or a book to make the tassels. 

If you would rather make pom poms for your pillow you MUST get a set of these pom pom makers. They are very inexpensive on Amazon and you will be cranking out pom poms like a factory.

For my throw pillows I used a piece of wood that was 5 inches wide and I wrapped the yarn around the wood to make my tassels. You can make them however big you want to make them. That’s the beauty of being a DIY’er.

Once the tassels were completed I attached them to the corners of my knit throw pillows and that was it. With some inspiration and minimal craft skills, my DIY tassel throw pillows are jazzed up and a cute accent in my living room.

    I’ve got to get me one of those Pom Pom makers! I keep forgetting, but don’t we all love the cutesy look of them? I know I sure do. Thanks for the nudge.

    Denise, I can’t tell you how often I saw something gorgeous and decided to save the comes in extra handy, when you are willing to buy, but the item is out of stock! I made a gazillion pom poms in my life but not one tassel, yet. Thank you for this easy tutorial.
