Tassles for scarves?

[julesinottawa]

I've made my two older kids Hat/mitts/scarf sets from a learn to knit kit I bought at Michael's that came with a few patterns. Well, to make the tassles or fringe for the scarf, it says you need some kind of trim tool and I have been checking various Michaels for this thing for over a year and can't find it. Is there another way to do this?

I just wrap yarn around a piece of cardboard that is the length that I want. I wrap until I have desired thickness then cut through one side of yarn. I gather the top and using a crochet hook pull through holes at end of scarf.
