Beaded Christmas Tassel

IMG_8831_medium2Ornate tassels, like these have often been used to embellish curtain tie-backs, keys and any other items in need of embellishment. These small tassels are great to accent a cabinet and look wonderful on a Christmas Tree.  The sample was done in traditional Christmas colours but it would also look fabulous in some silk, hand-dyed in rich colours.  It does not require much yarn, less than 40m of each colour.
