Description

Take a piece of string, tie some clever knots, add a pretty bead and knotted loop and before you know it, you will have a fabulous tassel.

Ideal for adding the perfect finishing touch to a pretty key, these enchanting bundles of knotted threads could also be used as blind pulls or simply displayed in a group on a wall or in a bowl.

Worked with linen thread of varying weights, each one utilizes a unique knot, onion, Turk’s head or capuchin, to form fabulous clusters that are attached to a ceramic bead or covered felt ball.
