In case you didn’t know, I like wine. Like, a lot. And I also like tassels. A lot. So when 90+ Cellars approached me to ask if I’d like to do a wine-related DIY, I knew exactly what I would make. A tassel wine stopper, duh! The cool thing about this stopper is that it has a pourer and a stopper all in one, and it looks kinda pretty thanks to the tassel. And I’m a big fan of projects where form meets function. So let’s get started!

DIY Tassel Wine Stopper With 90+ Cellars /// A Tutorial By Faith Towers of Design Fixation

Here’s what you’ll need for your tassel wine stopper:

Begin by tying your first color around the rope, 1/3 of the way down the rope. Double knot it, and then wrap the embroidery floss around the rope repeatedly, covering up the tail. Continue wrapping until you have a strip that’s about 3/4″ long.

If you are alternating smaller sections of color, you can tie both together at the bottom of your first color and then just wrap one at a time.

You can see this process above. You’ll cover up all of the tails as you continue wrapping, ensuring that they are secure.

Once you’ve finished one color, switch to the other one and wrap around and around as you’ve done before. Continue this process for about two inches, then go back to your very first color and do another section that’s 3/4″ long. Tie off the end with a double knot.

Now is the time to slip the stopper onto the rope.

Line up the bottom sections of color and then tie them together with your last embroidery floss color. Tie a double knot, and then wrap it around both pieces of rope until you have a 3/4″ section.

Knot the end, then slip it onto an embroidery needle. Slide the needle in between the two rope ends and pull the needle through. Cut the floss right where it becomes visible.

Trim the ends of the rope so they are even, and then separate the strands of the rope. Now go pour yourself a glass of wine and replace the cork with your fancy new stopper!

You can really get creative with the colors and patterns… I love the look of the greens on this tassel with the beautiful colors on the Côtes de Provence Rosé. Summer in a bottle!

These would make great hostess gifts or birthday gifts, especially paired with a bottle of vino.

Also: the Provence rosé has a gorgeous texture on the inside of the bottle which isn’t noticeable until it is empty. It looks like little droplets of water… you can sort of see it in the photo above. What a fun touch. I also tasted 90+ Cellars Sancerre and their Barbera D’Alba during the process of making this tutorial and both were fantastic. Don’t worry, I didn’t get too tipsy until after I was finished blogging!

You might also use this same technique to make other things, like wine charms to keep track of guests’ glasses… that’s definitely next on my list. Happy crafting everyone!
