Tassel

Wrap the cotton for the tassel

• Wrap the mercerized cotton around your hand.

• When you have the desired thickness for the tassel, cut it.

• Cut about 1 m (40 inches) of thread and knot it, forming a loop of about 20 cm (7-7/8 inches).

Add the loop to the tassel

• Pass the loop through the inside of the rolled thread.

• Pass the top of the loop through itself to knot the little ball.

• Pull the top of the loop to tighten the knot.

• Take the 2 hanging thread ends and wrap them tightly around the top of the little ball.

• When only 7 or 8 cm (2-3/4 or 3-1/8 inches) remain, make a knot by passing the threads under the last loop of the spiral several times.

Finish the tassel

• Cut the bottom of the ball to form strands and trim to make them even.
