Hi everyone! Do you use decorative tassels in your home? They are the one item that I can’t think of a reason for having other than they’re pretty! I do have a couple and I have a new one that that I want to show you!
Heather @ Butterfly Genes is making dog tassels now!

So I asked her to make a Golden Retriever one because we love dogs and especially our Maxie (I called my daughter puppy yesterday!!!).
You can use tassels on a lamp!
This rooster tassel is by Heather also.
Add it to a piece of furniture you want to add some oomph to,
Here’s a little pillow tassel I made for a door knob.
You can hang them anywhere you want to express your decorating style!
AND they’re easy to move around! You know I love that!
There are lots of tutorials out there on how to make one so you can use your imagination and your own trim. This is my favorite Tassel Tutorial. I think I’m going to make one for fall. A pumpkin one would be so cute!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fabulous week!

August 17, 2010 at 4:22 pmI LOVE the chicken tassel. My kitchen has chickens scattered around, so I'm currently racking my brain to think of a place to put a chicken tassel. Would it be totally outrageous to put knobs on all my cabinets just to have a place to put one?
Richella says
August 17, 2010 at 4:30 pmI do love tassels–and Heather's are beautiful! She made me a cross tassel that I just love. I should post a photo of it on my blog. Of course, she'll get a lot more exposure from your writing about her than she would from me. It was great of you to provide a link to her. She's a sweetheart, and I loved ordering from her.
All your tassels are pretty! I know you love your golden retriever, though, so that one is especially cool. 🙂
Linda says
August 17, 2010 at 4:37 pmYup! I'm a tassel lover! I enjoyed seeing yours.

August 17, 2010 at 4:54 pmlove this post. I have a few tassels around here too. I may have to ask her to make me a beagle. Her hound dog looks similar to our beagle.

August 17, 2010 at 5:11 pmUSELESS "NO WAY"… When something makes us feel wonderful and just to look at them makes us "SMILE", that means they have a definite purpose in life… Can you say that visitors are not SMILING when they look at them… AND how about conversation and the need to "touch them to see their wonderful textures"… They are DEFINITELY a needful thing… I LOVE THEM!!! AND I'm "SMILING", Hugs, Donna

August 17, 2010 at 5:40 pmI love tassels, Manuela! I have way too many of them all over my house. I hang them everywhere something can be hung!
Vee says
August 17, 2010 at 6:09 pmThat's a wonderful dog tassel. Yes, they're versatile…I've had mine moved all over the place. Currently, it's in the window over the latch.

August 17, 2010 at 6:53 pmI think these are adorable, I have a couple tassels, my family looks at them and wonders what they are for. lol, do you sometimes feel like you're the only one who "gets it"?
YaYa's Little House says
August 17, 2010 at 7:26 pmI do have some tassels but they certainly aren't as pretty as yours! Mine are plain jane, now I feel sorry for them, maybe someday I will try to give them a little "ump"
Cindy says
August 17, 2010 at 7:33 pmI like them because they are colorful or not if you don't want it to be, they are also so versatile and very beautiful! I love yours, they are really gorgeous!
Karen says
August 17, 2010 at 8:55 pmI love tassels. I have bought them before and never do anything with them. Not sure why. But the ones you show are fabulous. You and I like some of the same colors… gold, brown, black, cream… love it!!
I love the ones at Hobby Lobby!

August 18, 2010 at 1:44 amI'm with you, I LOVE tassels too! My husband doesn't understand them, at all, but eh, whatever, I love them! ha! I had a question for you Manuela regarding china, I was wondering if you could help with. I recently received a box of about 10 tea cups {all different shapes, sizes, brands, etc.} and I was wondering if there was some place to look for matching saucers. Of course I'll try ebay, but is there somewhere else I should look too? Thanks in advance for your help!

August 18, 2010 at 3:46 amLove all your cute tassels! I think I only have 2 and they are ones I made. I don't seem to see them when I'm out and about shopping. I'll have to be on the lookout out for some inexpensive ones to get.

August 18, 2010 at 5:47 amI'm not sure if you've seen them yet, but Target is carrying a line of stoneware rooster kitchen accesories. When I saw the S&P shakers, I thought of you. I'm not a rooster/chicken collector, but I adore these! Destiny
