I love a Kmart hack, but I’ve had my share of wins and losses when attempting a hack. But this Kmart hack to make your own tassel earrings is a winner. You can’t possibly stuff it up and you only need less than $20 worth of product from Kmart to make 6 pairs of earrings.
The way I came upon this hack was because I recently bought a dress which to my shock and horror – and possibly my dad’s – didn’t have matching earrings!
So I went about looking for the right coloured earrings from all my favourite shops and I couldn’t find what I was after! I’ve now asked a work colleague who has a side business selling jewellery, to make a pair for me. It didn’t stop me getting a bit creative with a Kmart Hack to make tassel earrings though.
What You Need
- 2 packs of 20 Mini tassels (these can be found in the craft/office/stationery section of Kmart)
- 1 pack of place cards (also found in the same aisle)
- 2 packs of Kmart hoop earrings (in the jewellery section)
- Paper plate and knife so the earrings can be displayed on the card
- Pom Poms and pliers in picture weren’t needed, but I had them there in case
Instructions
I think the images show how easy the are to make, but basically, you need to remove the plastic protector from each hoop earring to unfasten from the cardboard it was displayed on.
Choose your tassel colours and thread them onto the hoop earring. Make sure you have the same sequence of colours for each hoop. Or not. That could be a fun look where they don’t match.
I made different sets with more and less tassels. I think the earrings with three or more tassels look the best. If you’re making the earrings as gifts, buy another pack of tassels to bulk it up.
For less than $20, I made 6 pairs of earrings. The place cards make great holders for the earrings. There’s enough room to put a ‘handmade’ sticker or your little signature if you choose.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to give them away as gifts, this could be a great option for yourself to create your own earrings when you need them.
