- 2 - 12" lengths of hemp
- 2 - 12" lengths of dark hemp
- 14 - 7" lengths of hemp
- 2 - Czech glass large hole beads
- 2 - Vintaj large hole faceted round 8mm beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Gather 7 of the 7" lengths of hemp and tie together in the middle using 1 of the 12" lengths of matching hemp. |
|
Step 2: Make the tassel using the darker 12" length of hemp to wrap the tassel together. |
|
Step 3: Using the 12" hemp length from Step 1, tie on the earwire to the top of the tassel. Trim off tails leaving 8-10mm. |
|
Step 4: String beads onto the tassel, securing with overhand knots and a touch of adhesive. Tie additional overhand knots onto the strands that do not get strung with beads. |

pearlsandme aka Monica says:They must be miniature landing lines, or whatever those boat ropes are called… Lovely color combo, love those Czech beads. I could certainly use some sun, beach or no beach, so even AZ might work, CC!
