Stitch the Edges
Pin right sides together of two pieces of fabric. Sew around the edges with a straight stitch, leaving a 2" gap along one side. Sew all of your placemats together in the same fashion. Once they're sewn together, flip them all right side out by pulling the fabric through the gap.

Attach the Tassels
Thread your embroidery needle with one end of the yarn that you used to tie all the tassel loops together. Insert this on one corner of a placemat, from the outside in. Allow that piece to hang inside while you rethread your needle with the other end of the yarn and insert this end through the corner as well. Once both pieces are sewn through, tie them together in a tight double knot. Repeat with all tassels, sewing one to each corner of each placemat.
