Tassels- The Perfect Embellishment

Yesterday during the largest snow fall of the year, I spent the day "crafting"- something that I love to do, but rarely had time to do while running a store.  So I turned on the music, got out my trusty glue gun and went to work!  I made embellished tassels to sell in our first sale - Parisian Hideaways- to be held May 10th and 11th.  Embellished tassels are an easy way to jazz up your home.  They can turn a simple sconce into a thing of beauty and make a plain pillow gorgeous! 

 

Old Christmas ornaments, stretchy cocktail rings, simple tassels and trims

are combined together!

 

 

 

Traditionally tassels are used singularly  for window treatments- but I like using several at a time.

 

Layering tassels of different sizes is very pretty together and makes a bigger splash!

 

Tassels on decanters- love it!

For this one, I strung beads and used old buttons.

 

Embellishing a sconce- yes this one is fancy, but imagine it on a simple one!

Really makes a statement.

Just hanging out with the guys!

I made this one for a shabby pink nightstand that's going to be in the sale.

 

So sweet for a little girls room! 

It's made of ribbon roses, antique trims, old buttons and rhinestones.

This turquoise tassel is so pretty used as a tieback for this Bella Notte muslin tea towel.

I can't wait for our first sale!  Our plan is to have many embellished treats for our customer's homes.

 

Save the Dates- May 10th and 11th.
