What you need:
-2 earring hooks
-2 bead tips
-nylon string (preferably in the color of the lowest color bead, in this case, brown)
-3 colors of seed beads (or more if you'd like).
-needle
-scissors
-pliers
First, cut 10 pieces of nylon string, about 4 to 5 inches each, depending on how long you want the tassle.
Then, string one bead of the last color onto one end of a cut nylon string. Pull bead to middle and fold in half.
After folding the string in half, you can put a the two string-ends through a needle to make your life easier. String all the following beads onto the needle so the first bead is stuck at the bottom (and no knot is needed at end to keep the beads on!).
Put as many beads of each color as you like. Lots of freedom here!
Leave yourself plenty of room at the top.
Make 10 of these beaded strings.
With 5 beaded strings, slip the remaining string through the bead tip. Knot the tops of the strings well so they cannot slip through the bead tip. Cut the excess string. Use the pliers to close the bead tip.
Repeat with the second set of 5 strings.
Use the pliers to open the bottoms of the earring hooks and slip on the bead tips. Use pliers to close earring hooks.
All done!
Wearing my DIY creation:
The most time consuming part of this DIY is definitely stringing all of the seed beads!
