DIY: Embroidery Thread Tassel Earrings

I only really go with trends if I like them - as I think anyone should do! - you like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. Tassels seem to be one of those trends that seem to be loved by many, especially in the form of jewely. I happen to like this trend but I haven't done a tassel project on S&P...until I realized that a skein of embroidery thread could easily be made into a pair of tassels, for a fraction of the cost. Depending on the type of thread you buy, they may not "flow" the same way as store bought tassels, but they are more or less the same idea.

Supplies:- One full skein of embroidery thread

- Scissors

- Jewelry pliers, if needed

- Strong glue, such as E6000

- Clip on earring blanks, or large blank studs

- Flat backed charms or buttons
