Gold Tassels
(Makes 2)
Materials
2 plastic curtain rod ends
Gold spray paint
30cm narrow gold cord
Sharp scissors or craft knife
60cm x 16cm fringing
Clear tape
Tacky craft glue
Step 1
Using scissors or a craft knife, cut the pointed end from the curtain rod ends to form a hole. Spray the curtain ends with two or three coats of gold paint, allowing it to dry between applications.
Step 2
Cut gold cord to form the tassel loop. Wind tape around each end to prevent fraying, then push both ends through the curtain rod end. Tape cord ends together and pull up inside curtain rod end.
Step 3
Roll up the fringing, keeping the top end aligned, to form a tassel. Tape the end of the fringing to secure. Push the tassel inside the rod end and glue in place.
