Intro
With just a small piece of leather and basic tools you can make this leather tassel to add to something you’ve made, or to pep up something you already have. Adjust the length as you desire – long strands can be glamorous on a bag, on coat pockets little short tassels might be better. This & other tutorials are also on my blog http://constructivblog.wordpress.com/
Technique Materials
You’ll need: *a small metal ring about 10mm internal diameter (find in jewellery/ beading or craft stores) *Approx. 15 x 15 cm piece of leather *Double sided tape *Masking Tape *heavy (preferably linen) thread *leather hole punch *Scissors or scalpel knife (depending on thickness of leather) *Square Ruler
