A graduation or school craft you can use as parting gifts for friends, as a show of school spirit or for party favors.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 30 minutes
Here's How:
- Wrap your first color of lanyard around the index card 15 times. Cut the one side so that you have fifteen 8-inch pieces.
- Wrap your second color of lanyard around the index card 15 times. Cut the one side so that you have fifteen 8-inch pieces.
- Cut one 15-inch piece of one of the colors.
- Grab all of your pieces and evenly thread them all through your keychain. Fold them in half, so that the key chain ring is in the center of your strands.
- Wrap the long 15-inch piece around the strands three times, just at the bottom of where the key chain is. Tie off. (see picture)
- On the ends of the long strands, tie beads. Trim the ends.
- Trim any stragglers off the tassel.
Tips:
- Variation: tie on the year of the class in beads or use a school sports charm.
- I've seen this craft done with both the floss and the lanyard. The floss looks classier, but doesn't last as long.
