    Step 2:

    1. Measure around the top of the cup with the craft cord, adding some additional length on both ends.
    2. Cut eight more equal strands of craft cord in the length needed, for a total of nine strands.
    3. Tape all the strands together on a flat surface.

    Step 3:

    1. Separate the strands into three groups of three.
    2. Begin braiding the strands.

    Step 4:

    1. Run a bead of hot glue along both ends of the braid, inside the tape edges. Let cool. NOTE: The hot glue keeps the braid from unraveling.
    2. Trim close to the hot glue, removing the tape and raw edges of the braid.

    Step 6:

    1. On a piece of parchment paper, squeeze hot glue into an oval/circle shape. Let cool. This will be the medallion accent on the cup.
    2. Punch two holes in the hot glue medallion, one on each end.

    Step 7:

    1. Choose a color of embroidery floss. NOTE: Keep the embroidery floss in its wrapper. Pull the loose end from the pack and cut two 12-inch lengths of embroidery floss.
    2. Slide the wrapper down toward one end of the embroidery floss, but do not remove it.

    Step 8:

    1. Fold the embroidery floss in half. Loop one of the 12-inch lengths of embroidery floss under the fold.
    2. Tie a tight knot to secure the 12-inch length to the center of the fold.
    3. Use the second 12-inch length to wrap and tie a tight knot just above the wrapper to create the tassel. NOTE: Once tied, remove the wrapper.
    4. Trim the ends of the tassel so it’s straight and neat.

    2. Hot glue the tassel medallion string inside the top of the cup.
