Boho Yarn Tassel Garland: DIY

Inspired by Pottery Barn Teen

While shopping for my daughter’s college bedding at Pottery Barn Teen, we spotted the cutest boho yarn tassel garland. It was perfect—but way out of budget. So we decided to recreate the look ourselves, and honestly? It turned out just as dreamy.

Supplies We Used:

4 skeins of yarn (I used four different colors; each skein makes ~12 tassels. I used 33 total.)

Scissors
Needle with a large eye
Nails, tacks, hooks, or Command hooks (for hanging)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Garland Base

Cut a 6-foot strand of yarn for the base.
Thread the needle with yarn and tie a knot at one end.
Tie a double knot at the other end to secure the beads.

Thread yarn with wood beads.

Thread approximately 50-60 wood beads on the stand of yarn.

2. Add the Beads

Thread 50–60 wood beads onto the yarn.
Hang the beaded strand on the wall and adjust the drape to your liking.
Split the beads in half, leaving 1–2 beads in the center (I recommend 2 for balance).

3. Attach the Tassels

Start in the center and tie each tassel onto the yarn with a double knot.
Use longer tassels in the middle and gradually shorten them toward the ends.
Leave 2–3 beads between each tassel for spacing.
Vary tassel lengths for a layered, boho look.

4. Trim & Finish

Trim excess yarn close to the knots for a clean finish.

Step back and adjust spacing or lengths as needed.

How to make the tassels

If you’re new to tassel-making, don’t worry—it’s super simple. Each one takes a few minutes, so plan for a couple of hours if you’re making 30+. Watch my DIY Yarn Tassel video below for a quick tutorial:
