- Crochet a chain as long as you would like. For the bookmark in the video, the chain is about 55 sts long and 9 inches long.
- Cut off the yarn and draw the tail through the last chain.
Make a tassel:
Use the largest size of crochet hook (3.75 mm in the video). Cut two pieces of yarn approximately 4 inches long. Insert the crochet hook through the last chain, grab the middle of the yarn strand with the hook and bring it through the chain, then grab the entire bunch of free ends including the ending tail. Draw them through the loop and tighten. Trim the tassel ends evenly.
Finishing:
- weave in the beginning end, block the snowflake as necessary. If your snowflake button has a shank, cut the shank off using a hot glue gun. Glue the button to the snowflake.
