M3 Chapter 6 - Simple Tassels

As with the cord making, I also enjoyed making tassels and found it quite relaxing. I made several using both hand and machine techniques and I could have made many more. I have not made tassels using machine stitching before and found this a good technique for a different look. I liked using cords and strips and threads and achieving a more irregular 'shabby' effect. I've found rayon threads of different thicknesses particularly useful for making cords and tassels.

I looked at how I could use a painted cotton reel to make a 'mould'. I will develop this further for my accessory.
