This luscious eclectic tassel is full of fun techniques, layers and texture. We will explore basic tassel construction along with various techniques such as basket weaving, bead wrapping, pom-poms, macramé, beaded dangles and fiber wrapping. This is a process oriented class and my goal is to have taught at least one piece of each part of the tassel enabling you to put it all together on your own if you can’t finish in class.
Kit optional: Please contact me at least one month prior (no later) to class if you prefer not to bring all these materials and I will put a kit together for you for $30.
