Instructions:
STEP ONE
Gather all the supplies. Remove the labels and packaging from the supplies. Using a ruler and scissors, measure a rectangle of black craft foam .75 inches wide by 9 inches long. Cut out with scissors.
STEP TWO
Measure a square of black craft foam that is 3.75 inches by 3.75 inches. Cut out the black craft foam square with scissors.
STEP THREE
Remove the labels from the embroidery floss skein, then measure and (A) cut four lengths that are 12 inches each. Open the middle of the skein of floss. (B) Tie and knot one of the embroidery floss lengths through and around each of the loops at the ends of the skein.
STEP FOUR
Approximately .75 inches down from the top knot, tie one length of embroidery floss around the skein, securing it with a knot. Wrap each end around the skein three times. Wrap one to the left and one to the right. Secure again with a knot. Repeat on the opposite end of the skein.
STEP FIVE
Trim the long ends of the wrapped embroidery floss with scissors. Measure and cut the skein of embroidery floss in half at the three-inch mark with scissors. Secure the knots with a small dot of glue from the glue gun.
STEP SIX
(A) Attach the craft foam rectangle to the edge of the mason jar lid with a glue gun and glue sticks. (B) Glue the craft foam square to the mason jar lid.
TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP SEVEN
Screw the lid onto the mason jar, and lay the tassel out on top of the grad cap. Trim the tassel hanger with scissors and attach it to the center of the grad cap top with a glue gun and glue sticks. To finish, glue the button on top of the tassel hanger to cover the cut end.
