A tassel is a simple ornament that is used as a finishing feature of any fabric decoration. It can be attached to almost any accessory to give it a better look.
We will see how to make a tassel with just a piece of string and golden thread.
Steps to make a simple Tassel:
Step 1:
Take a piece of silver string around 12 to 15 inches long. Make a loop at the center of the string as shown.
Step 2:
Fold the threads in half along their length.
Step 3:
Place the thread strand between the two legs of the string and clasp it by twisting the string.
Step 4:
Bring the thread strands down and hold them together firmly.
Step 5:
Take a piece of string and twist it around the top part of the thread. Make a few tight twists around the thread.
Step 6:
Join the two ends of the string and twist the ends together.
Step 7:
Cut the bottom of the thread strand such that the end is even.
The tassel is done!
I attached this tassel to my handbag, I definitely liked the charm it added.
You can use these tassels for a bookmark or for a graduation tassel. You just have to pick the right colors and the right kind of thread.
