Description:

As a fiber lover, I abhor yarn waste. That means I end up with lots of bits and bobs of yarn that I can't use for a "whole" project. I decided I wanted to play with making art tassels.

I've made regular tassels, but I loved the idea of making a mixed media tassel! For this swap, you are going to create an art tassel for your partner. It's sender's choice, so go ahead and start looking through your stashes of precious yarn, floss, beads, charms, etc.

My advice would be to make two, because you won't want to give it up!

Here are the particulars about your tassel: must be a minimum of six inches long NO cheap yarn, please use up your premium scraps it must have embellishments - beads, ribbons, charms make it thicker than your thumb

If you get a tassel that meets the above criteria, please rate a 5. Hearts are up to you. Try your best to create a special piece that would grace a favored journal or would become a keepsake.

Google Art Tassels for more images and ideas.

Here's directions for making all kinds of tassels: http://timeless-creations.ca/The-Art-of-Making-Tassels.pdf
