Customer Reviews

I'm keen to get going

As I haven't made tassels before, just been impressed by their elegant look, I decided to read the whole book first. I've now done that and I'm ready to start. This book is easy to read and understand and I feel confident that once I've tried a few times I will master these beautiful accessories.

technique and referance book

It's a useful referance book for various techniques. This book shows many ways to create a tassel (cord/woodheads/ect), not just one tassel with slight variations and additions to it. I found the basic tassel diagram confusing as a beginner, it looks hand drawn. The written instructions are good. I also like the descriptions of threads and how they affect the tassels shape, movement, and texture. The tassels are plain, but the info is good!

A great "how-to" you won't outgrow

"Beginners" is in the title, but you won't give up the book when you gain experience. It's filled with tips, ideas, and shortcuts that make the learning experience fun and keep your interest high. Whether you want to make a simple tassel in fifteen minutes or develop a complex tassel as a project, reach for this book for instructions. This is the tassel book to buy first. You won't give it up.
