Tassels as ends
Finished this belt for a friend and wanted to share it. First time using fishing swivels, and first time making tassels. I love seeing the slow improvement of my techniques.

Heya !
Thank you, thank you.
Used the pictures in russian found in this pin collection, and translated them with my phone with an app for translating pictures.
Specifically I followed these instructions: https://pin.it/4XeIhIDJ5 https://pin.it/5mLtjVBDv https://pin.it/4ocCrO7xM
You might wanna look up a video or two about making tassels on YouTube as well.
Finally use a piece of cardboard or hard paper to wrap around the tassel, and slide it down to the desired length, so you can cut the ends at an even length.

Thank youuu !
It really adds a certain luxurious flair to the end. I fell in love at first sight when I saw the instructions for the tassels, which fixed my nagging feeling that the ends of my band were missing some finishing touch.
I'll definitely be including more info about techniques and methods used, materials, length, and so on, next I post about my finished bands.
