DIY Leather Tassel Keychain

DIY Leather Tassel - these cute floppy suede tassels are fun to make and are a nice little gift. Video tutorial

These DIY Leather Tassel Keychains have a unique waterfall or bell shape and are a lot of fun to make. They are also a great gift and a cute accent for your favorite bag or clutch. This post may contain affiliate links. See my full disclosure policy here. Recently when I was browsing Target, as I am wont to do, I spotted an adorable clutch with a fun tassel attached to it. The tassel had a unique shape that I hadn't seen before, so of course, I investigated and tried to figure out how to recreate it at home. These tassels are a little more floppy and rounded than a regular tassel. When I was trying to come up with a name for them that described their shape, the best I could come up with was "Cousin It" Tassels. Ha!

Little Leather Gem Pouch

This post contains affiliate links, and if you decide to make a purchase, I may make a small commission.  For a while now, I've been wanting to try out a project combining leather and crochet. And here is my first experiment. I shared this little pouch over at Eighteen25 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I'm sure there will be many more leather experiments in the future. To make this little pouch you will need: leather scraps cotton crochet thread (I used size 3) a small crochet hook (I used 1.3 mm) needle mini leather punch and hammer button I started off by using a straightedge to sketch out my gem shape. I ended up with six pattern pieces - three on top and three on bottom. I didn't want to leave pin holes in my ... [Read More]
