How To Make A Tassel

Tassels from threads which are also made with one's own hands can be necessary for you for various products. It is possible to decorate with them a knitted cap, baktus, an embroidered scarf or any other product. Tassels can be made very simply and quickly: production of one tassel from threads with skill process will take literally 5-10 minutes.

For work prepare strings of the necessary color and thickness, scissors and a template (we will reel up a thread for creation of a tassel on it). The template has to be rather rigid: for this purpose you need a dense cardboard or a plastic rectangle about 7x12 cm in size. And now let's learn in more detail how to make a brush of threads!

It is better to cut off a thread from a ball at the very end of winding, you don't know yet how many threads will be required to you for creation of a rather magnificent tassel.

For a decor instead of numerous layers of threads it is possible to use a tape from the atlas or organza. Straighten a bottom of a self-made tassel with scissors that all threads were identical length.
