In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold your non-dominant hand out straight, keeping the fingers together. Using your dominant hand, wrap a bundle of embroidery thread around your non-dominant fingers 20 to 30 times. The final tassel will be about four times as thick as the width you produce here, so keep that in mind as you wrap the thread around. If you find it difficult to use your fingers or if you want a larger tassel, wrap the embroidery thread around a heavy piece of cardboard or cardstock, cut to your preferred dimensions. Note that the tassel will be about half as long as the width of your cardstock. Carefully slip the embroidery thread loop off your hand. Tightly wrap both loose ends of the thread around the center of the loop several times. Tie these ends together with a tight knot. Note that you need to be careful about where you wrap the thread. If you do not wrap the loop in the precise center, your tassel might be lopsided. With a sharp pair of scissors, cut the looped ends on either side of your knot. Rearrange the loose ends of thread so that they all come together below the center knot holding everything in place. You should already see the tassel shape forming at the conclusion of this step. If the ends of the tassel seem uneven, carefully trim them using your scissors until they are all roughly the same length. Cut a separate length of embroidery thread. Wrap this thread around the top of the loose ends, just a little below the knot, cinching that top portion together. This piece of embroidery thread will need to be about three to four times as long as your tassel. You will need to wrap the thread around a dozen times or more. Tie a small knot at the base of the wrapped portion when done. Let the ends of the thread hang down into the tassel, trimming them to size. Presently, you should still have two unconnected pieces of embroidery thread hanging off the knot. Tie these pieces together as close to the ends as possible, forming a loop. Snip off any excess thread hanging from this top knot so that the knot looks less noticeable. Set the tassel aside until you are ready to add it to the hat.
Summary: Create a loop of embroidery thread. Tie it off. Cut the looped ends. Tie the top. Join the ends together.

Whether you want to deep clean your Chucks so they look brand new, or you're just trying to get some major stains out, you can make your Converse shoes look great with a few simple cleaning supplies in no time. Get some stain remover, laundry detergent, 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, and a Magic Eraser for the dirt and stains. You can use a couple hand towels and/or rags for scrubbing and laying out your shoes. Make sure that none of your cleaning supplies have bleach in them. Even if you have a white pair of All Stars, you want to avoid any chemicals that may discolor your shoes. Fill a bucket with warm water and add enough soap so that you can see bubbles. If you don't have a bucket readily available, you can also fill up your sink or bathtub with some soapy water. Add some hydrogen peroxide for extra cleaning power. The easiest way to clean your laces is to remove them from your Chucks and clean separately. This will also make it much easier to scrub the tongue and eyelets of your shoes. For now, set the laces aside on a dry towel or rag. If your shoes have recently gotten dirty or muddied then it's easiest to let the mud dry off before trying to clean your shoes. This may sound counterintuitive but it will be easier to scrape dry mud off of your shoes. If you soak or scrub your shoes with a lot of mud on them then you're more likely to smear the mud into the canvas, making it harder to remove stains. Smack your shoes together to knock any mud off. You can also use a toothbrush or bristle brush to get dry mud off your shoes. To protect your washing machine and prevent your shoes from banging around, you should pad your washing machine with some clothes or towels that are similar in color to your shoes. Don't fill the washing machine too high so that your shoes won't get the full effects of the washing machine. It's also advisable to only use old clothes or fabrics that you won't mind if they get affected by your shoes.

One-sentence summary -- Get your cleaning supplies. Get a clean rag and a solution of mild soap and water. Remove the shoelaces. Let any recent dirt or mud dry. Fill your washing machine with similar colored fabrics.
