ONE wrap the string around the palm of your hand to create a loop. The thickness of your tassel will depend on the number of times you wrap the string around your hand--I did around 150.
TWO with the string still wrapped around your palm, take a 6 inch piece of string, feed it through the center of the loop then tie a knot to secure the pieces.
THREE remove the loop from your palm and lay it down on a flat surface. Take another 6 inch piece of string and wrap it around the bundle several times--this should be about a 1/4 inch from the top. Once you have the look you want knot the string and trim off the excess.
FOUR hold the tassel by the top string and use scissors to trim the bottom loops.
Ta-da...a tasseled tree in less than an hour!!
