I live for the moments when I come across a material or element that has the potential to spark an infinite amount of ideas. When I spotted these mini silk tassels, from this gem of an Etsy store, my rainbow-hued, tassel/pom pom loving cabeza was like: Eureka, I’ve found DIY gold! Dish towels, pillows, scarves, jewelry, baskets, totes . . . gladiator sandals, there isn’t anything I don’t wanna adorn with tassels. Especially, when they’re already made for me.
You’ll need:
- lace up greek sandals
- 1.25″ silk tassels (2 sets of assorted colors)
- waxed linen thread
- chaco liner pen
- scissors
Waxed linen thread is perfect for this project because it holds knots extremely well. Thread 3-4 inch pieces of thread through the tops of the tassels.
Set aside.
I love using this chaco liner pen from Clover. It has a fine toothed edge and deposits white chalk, which makes the marks easy to see but also easy to remove with just a wet cloth. Put the sandals on and wrap the straps around your legs. Mark where you want the tassels to lay.
Remove the sandals and double knot the tassels onto the straps.
Trim away any excess thread.
You should be able to shift the tassels around in case they need to be adjusted. Cha, cha, cha!

I really like your website!
Your website ads are so annoying. Those starbucks ads are killing me! I’m never coming to your site again.
This is such a cool idea!! Can you make them so the tassels are removable? I would love to be able to transition the shoes for certain occasions thanks for the inspiration! http://www.mingleandmansome.com
This is so cute! If only I had the legs for gladiators 🙂 So far my tassel DIYs have been strictly jewellery (and 1 bag chain)- featured on my blog hapinesswherever.wordpress.com- but I’d love to venture out to other accessories like you have 🙂
I have noticed that tassels have become popular in the fashion world and I like this idea. I have had my eye on several top patterns w/tassels to make f or my granddaughters. I think they would love to make these to match. Thanks again DIY for yet another great idea!!!
