Design Idea: Tassels

ljusbricka

You guys have seen it in fashion – tassels on shoes, jewelry, bags and belts, but how about home decor?  I love the chic detail that tassels add to home style. They are pretty and feminine, but definitely have a very global influence.

I suppose you could ask what in the world you’d need tassels for, but there are examples all over of ways to adorn your home accessories and furniture with the fringey addition. Hanging from a dresser pull, draped across a doorway or used in a more functional way like for your keys, tassels are darling and fun.

How about a fringe DIY?  Sounds like a good idea to me!

Tell me, what would you use some tassels for?

    Thanks for sharing my Green Dresser Erin! I have a slight obsession with tassels & plan to make more soon. Here is the tutorial for the ones hanging on my dresser. Crazy easy!

      Kristin – I’m so glad that’s from you! I found it on Tumblr, and that’s a deep dark black hole! Love it!

    I hung one on my living room lamp’s switch/ turn knob so it’s easy to find and switch on!

      I love that use! I might have to do the same, I’m always just feeling around in the dark for it!

    Love tassels! Have you heard of Agraria? They have scented tassels so they are fun and functional! I hang them in my closet, by the bathroom, etc.
