The tassel is made from polyester cords and is attached onto a beading wire with a cow bone bead, silver beads and a stone bead. It is finished with a lovely lobster claw clasp. Use it on a long chain or fasten it to your bag.
Gorgeous decorations which can be used as jewellery or as a handbag charm. The polyester cord is excellent for making tassels, as the smooth cord feels alive and does not tangle. The finely detailed cow bone beads in black and white shades provide a contrast to the saturated red and yellow colour.
Wind the polyester cord thirty times around your hand.
Put the cord around a round object and tie firmly together. Finish with a couple of knots.
Cut off the ends close to the knot.
Glue the tassel inside an end cap using Super Attak instant glue.
Cut the strings from each other at the other end.
Cut a piece of beading wire twice the desired length. Pass the wire through the loop of the end cap and pull on beads over both wires. Attach a crimp bead but do not squeeze it yet.
Put a lobster claw clasp in a split ring. Pass the wire through the loop of the split ring, back through the crimp bead and the upper bead.
Tighten, squeeze the crimp bead and cut off the excess wire.
Convert the handbag charm to a piece of jewellery by attaching it to a long chain.
