Tassel Making For Beginners

Start with one-part tassels, and move on to elaborate woven ones attached to elegant handles. An equipment guide discusses threads, cardstock, tassel heads, beads, and other materials. Experiment with Z and S twists, techniques for making long and short cords, and ways of preparing templates. Create a bright array with frilled skirts; mob caps; beaded necks, heads, and skirts; a spider’s web and a jewelry finding head. They’re decorative, prac-tical, and fun.
