5.

on the fifth day of christmas i give to you...
leather tassel necklace.
found here.
HOW TO:
-buy some leather & cut to desired rectangular size, i cut to about 4 inches wide and 3 1/2 long.
-draw a line across the rectangle with a writing utensil, i used chalk, 1 inch down from the top.
-cut thin strips up to the line, the thinner the strips the thicker your tassel will be. you can also cut some strips at different lengths to make it look thicker.
-cut one extra strip all the way to the top, this will be what you use to make a loop for the chain.
-put glue along the top above the line, i just used a hot glue gun.
-roll twice then add one end of the extra strip.
-roll a couple more times then add the other end of the extra strip so now you have a loop at the top.
-finish rolling it up so it looks like a tassel.
-add a chain and wear it for all to be jealous.
takes ten minutes. i love it.
