Instructions

Step 1

Cut an 8-inch length of 20-gauge wire.

Step 2

Using the Beadalon® Tassel Maker, wrap size FFF Purely Silk thread for a 3-inch tassel. Remove the wrapped thread from the trusses.

Insert one end of the 20-gauge wire through the center of the wrapped thread. Tightly wrap the wire around one end of the wrapped thread twice. Bring the long end of the wire up away from the wrapped thread.

Cut the opposite end of the wrapped thread to complete the tassel.

Step 3

String the following onto the long end of the wire:

One bead cap
One angel wing bead
One 8mm crystal rhinestone rondelle
One 12mm crystal pearl
One 4x2mm heishi

Step 4

Pull the wire to bring the top of the tassel snugly into the bead cap then create a large wrapped loop.

Step 5

Trim the tassel as needed.
