Aida Haron - Tassels Tutorial

We are very honoured to have Aida Haron this month as our Guest Artiste.  Aida has very kindly shared her tassels tutorial with us and I have to say that I have been admiring those beautiful handmade tassels from afar for a very long time.  Now that Aida is sharing her tutorial with us - I can't wait to get cracking on making some.  Thanks so much for sharing Aida.

Materials needed: 

Thin ribbon 20 inches, folded in two

Pp 1.5 X 3 inches

Cardstock 0.5 inch X 2 inches

Materials needed to begin.

Ink the edges of the paper.

Cut 2/3 into the paper in thin strips to make straight frills.

Staple the folded ribbon to one end of the pp which has the frills cut into it

Add a small daub of glue and roll the paper up. Glue the end down.

An almost complete tassel.

Glue the cardstock strip around the tassel to secure.  Gently curl the frills with your finger-tips.

The finished tassel.
