Currently crushing on…
Tassels! They’re a hot trend right now. They’re a flirty little extra, perfect for dressing up party pieces.
AND they are so simple to to make! My friend Pat first taught me how to make them many years ago. Once I
got the hang of it, every pillow in the house was be-tasseled! These days, I’m loving them on garlands.
I picked up this sparkly gold & white yarn from Martha and thought it would be perfect for a very
special garland I’m creating. My sister Linda was game to lend a creative hand. Love, her simple tassel method. This is a pared
down version of the traditional tassel. So here we go with Tassels 101.
Here’s what you’ll need: Cardstock, yarn and ribbon
* Cut the cardstock or cardboard to the length of the tassel you want to create.
* Wrap the board front and back until you reach
your desired tassel thickness. In this case, seven times.
* Cut the bottom and voila…you have sweet little tassels in seconds!
I’m working these, into that special garland I mentioned.
Give me a ‘G’…give me an ‘I’…
Yep, it’s for Girls Night In at Metroplitan Market in Kirland, June 13th!
Hope you can make it!
Tassels…….oh my!! How we love our tassels! Yes, flowers are divine!
