Home Decor Using Tassels
I have collected
plates for all the great dinner parties I am
going to throw someday. When I have time I am
going to fill the many photo albums that are
waiting to display my family pictures. And don't
even remind me of all the beautiful fabric that
I have bought and stored around the house. I
know that someday I will be snowed in for a
month and I will sew and sew until I have used
it all up. (Never mind that I live in the South
and we rarely even get snowed in for two days!)
Am I the only one that does this?
Fringe Benefits
Tassels are on my list of favorite things to
collect. I love using them in many decor styles.
They can be made from thread, shells, beads,
ribbon or feathers. Small ones can be purchased
for less than a dollar or you can spend hundreds
on elaborate curtain tiebacks. They can give
areas of your home a touch of interest with
little effort on your part.
Let's walk through the house and explore
interesting places where you can use tassels:
* Enhancing the corners of a duvet cover or
comforter
* Looped around the button on a couch or chair
arm
* Hooked on a lamp finial
* Creating napkin rings
* Tying back your window treatments
* Hanging from a door knob
* Accenting a drawer pull
* Tied to a bed post
* Dangling from a fan pull
* Sewn to the pinch pleats of your drapes
* Wrapped around the neck of a vase or ginger
jar
* Attached to cushions
Even More Tassel Ideas
Large tassels that are made for drapery tiebacks
look great hanging from the back of some dining
room chairs. Place the cord loop over each post
on the chair and let the tassel hang down in the
back. If your chairs are fabric you can tack
them on with needle and thread.
Small tassels can be attached to a ribbon and
used as a bookmark. Place an open book with a
tassel on an end table for a decorative accent.
In your guest bathroom use cording and tassels
to embellish the towels. A tiny one makes your
favorite perfume bottle look even prettier.
It's always fun decorating with touches that are
easy and interesting. Tassels fit the bill
perfectly for your home decor. You'll always
