Nicole Richie has landed a beauty spread in Glamours June issue, and we happen to think shes perfect for the job since shes mastered the art of frizz-free bedhead.

DIY Wednesday: Tassel Favor Toppers

Sophie Kidston — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 18:35:56 +0000

Making tassels is a super easy and fresh way to top your favor boxes!

To make one tassel you will need a 15 inch length of ribbon. I like the look of elastic cording (purchased at Joanns) and thick paper ribbon (purchased at Cost Plus) best for this project. You will also need a bit of skinny gold cording. Play around with different colors and texture to find the perfect combo for your favors! You should be able to find all these supplies at a local craft store.Step One. Cut the ribbon you will be using into 3 inch sections (15 inches will leave you with five).

Step Two.
