How to Draw a Tassel
Draw a tassel in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the skirt.
Step 1: The skirt
Draw a short flat top, then flare a side down each way. Join them with 6 little bumps.
Tip Leave room above for a ball and a loop.
Step 2: The band
On the flat top draw a small box, as wide as the top.
Tip The band is the thread tied round the neck of the tassel.
Step 3: The round ball
On the band draw a round ball, wider than the band.
Step 4: The cord loop
From the top of the ball draw a tall thin loop of cord, up and back down.
Step 5: The peg
Inside the top of the loop draw a small circle. That is the peg it hangs on.
Tip A tassel hangs, so it needs something to hang from.
Step 6: Three threads
From the band draw 3 threads down to the bumps: one in the middle, one each side.
Step 7: Two more threads
Draw 2 more threads from the band to the last bumps, fanning out like the sides.
Tip Every thread ends where 2 bumps meet.
Step 8: Band wraps
Draw 2 lines across the band, from side to side, for the wrapped thread.
Step 9: Gold tassel
Go over your lines. Colour the ball and the skirt yellow like gold.
Step 10: Red cord
Colour the band and the cord loop red.
Step 11: Brown peg
Colour the little peg brown. Your tassel is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a tassel, drawn by you.
