FASTEN OFF

WEAVE IN ENDS AND ADD A TASSEL IF DESIRED.

TASSEL:

Step 1: Cut a piece of cardboard that is about 3-4 inches long. Wrap the yarn around the cardboard about 20 times (more for a fuller tassel). Cut the yarn so you have 20 separate pieces.

Step 2: Cut another piece of yarn and wrap it around the middle of the 20 strands and tie a knot.

Step 3: Pull both ends of the strand used to tie the middle through the end of the bookmark and wrap each end in opposite directions just above the top of the tassel, then secure it with another knot.

Step 4: Wrap another strand of yarn around the top of the tassel about 1/4-1/2" from the top of the tassel and tie a knot. Using a small crochet hook, pull those strands down through the middle of the tassel.
