Recommended for ages 7 and up.

You need:

  • Lid from Round 1/2-Gallon Ice Cream Container
  • Yarn in Two or More Colors
  • White Glue
  • Scissors
  • Hole Punch

Instructions:

Cut or push out lid top leaving only the rim ring. Punch holes all around rim. We used an Eddy's container. The stripes make it easy to evenly space holes.

Cut yarn into 3 yard lengths. Stiffen one end of each piece with white glue. Feed one piece of yarn through a hole in the rim. Pull through to other end and tie into place. Weave randomly back and forth through rim. Tie off, glue and trim. Repeat with one or more pieces of yarn.

Make three tassels by wrapping yarn several times around four fingers. Leave about a few inches of yarn on one end. Remove from fingers and pinch together at that end. Use another piece of yarn to wrap pinched strands together. Tie off. Cut open loops on other side. Push long piece of yarn through a hole punched in the rim. Glue and trim.
