Timely tassels!


I thought it was about time that I actually posted something here!
I have such good intentions, but terrible follow through.
There has been so much annoying sickness at our house this winter,
but I think we are all on the mend now!

This was a cute Christmas ornament that I picked up for 75% off after Christmas - it just spoke 'tassel' to me! I actually bought 4 of them, and wished after I had thought to buy more! Oh well!
It isn't a working timepiece, but wouldn't it be neat if it was?

It turned out to be pretty large, but quite elegant!
My pictures are bad, as usual! The fringe is cream, gold and chocolate brown.
I hope it will sell well at out local shop!

This is also an ornament from the after Christmas sales - Hobby lobby, I think.
I attached a candle cup to the bottom so there would be room for fringe!
I added a bit of a crystal under the gold bow for a bit of glamor!




This one will also make it's way to the shop, where they are beautifully displayed and selling nicely.

Happy tasseling!

Those are both so cute! Great eye at the Christmas sales. It's good to hear that they are selling well. Thanks so much for the tutorial you posted a while ago. I've thoroughly enjoyed using it to make tassel gifts.

What a lovely idea!! Your tassels are so beautiful, I'd love to make one. Is there one that's easy to do just to begin with?I've seen your tutorial and you make it look so eay but I bet it isn't?
