Tassles for Nugget Mortar Boards
I originally posted this in the wrong place. Sorry!
To make a tassel you will need:
three 3.25 inch lengths of embroidery floss
one 4 inch length of floss
one or two 3.25 inch strands of floss
Tie the three lengths at center with the 4 inch length, but put the knot in the four inch piece so one end of the four inch piece becomes another string in the tassel. Fold all tassle strings together and tie them with one or two strands (your preference) of embroidery floss about 1/8 inch from the original knot. These strands also become part of the tassel.
Put an open knot at the other end of the original four inch floss. This is what you will put the brad into so secure the tassel once you get it to the right length. Trim the tiny piece that is left over and trim entire tassel to even it and to get to desired length.
I am going to try to upload a photo I hope it works!
Look in my gallery to see the mortar board kids!
Thanks for looking.
