Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY Tassels

June 13, 2016 · 1 Comment

Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY TasselsGraduation Diploma Invitations with DIY TasselsOkay, I totally declare that graduations are the unofficial holiday of tassels. Just think about it, tassels on cap on diplomas, they’re everywhere when it comes to celebrate the completion of four years of hard work, whether high school, college or power to you, a Masters! I love tassels, and so does everyone else, because it’s trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon. From garlands, to handbag accessories, or the perfect touch on a boho necklace; there are so many ways to incorporate these fun accents, and they’re beyond simple to make!

The end of June marks the beginning of graduation celebrations, and today I’ve got the most festive invitations for a graduation party! My client had best idea for her grad invites, not just a diploma, but one rolled and presented like the real thing!Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY TasselsWorking with the talented Andrea of Paper Fox Design, we created a traditional graduation diploma design with the grad’s corresponding school colors of emerald green and gold. Delicate green paper, hand lettered in gold with each teen’s name, enclosed the invitation message, which made it look like a real diploma once unraveled. You can’t have a diploma for an official grad, without a tassel, and these fun gold DIY ones, make the perfect final touch.Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY TasselsThese diploma invitations are just so fun, aren’t they! They’ll definitely stand out amongst the other graduation party invites.Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY TasselsThis mini tassel DIY is just the cutest, and you can make a bunch and accent them wherever you want! Graduation Diploma Invitations with DIY Tassels

You’ll Need

While keeping the embroidery floss skein in one piece, remove a 36″ string and divide it into two – 18 ” pieces. Cut the skein floss in half, keeping the label wrappers still on.

Take one of the 18″ strings, and fold in half. Make a loop about 1″ down from the center to create the loop at the top of your finished tassel. Adjust the loop before knotting, so that one of the strings is the same length as the tassel strings, while the other hangs longer.  {For a pair of tassel earrings you’ll want to make the loop smaller, and the knot higher up}

Bring one of the cut embroidery floss halves together and tie them tightly in the center of its fold with a triple knot. Let the ends of the tying piece merge into the rest. Trim the longer piece of string.

Use the cut piece of string and loop it about 3/4″ down the tassel, and knot tightly. Wrap strings around front once or twice, then knot three times tightly.

Using a needle, string the knot strands through the center of the tassel to hide. Trim the tails of your tassel evenly, and that’s it!IMG_0344

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
