Comment On This Article

We like this tassel from The Bead Studio because of it's versatility. You can use it as a pendant for a necklace of clip it onto a zipper or purse. It can hang from a pull chain for a lamp or fan or in a window or rearview mirror. It is a great way to use up leftover beads from a previous project.

Materials:

  • 1 - 2" Eyepin
  • 6" of Chain
  • 1 Large Focal Bead
  • 1 Small Lobster Clasp
  • 4 1½ Thin Headpins
  • Assortment of small beads that compliment the focal bead.
  • Round Nose Pilers
  • Chain Nose Pilers
  • Wire Cutter

Steps:

  1. Cut your Chain into four separate pieces.


     
  2. Open the loop of the eyepin and add chain.


     
  3. Add a Focal Bead and bend wire to a right angle 1/8 of an inch above the bead. Use the tip of the chain-nose filers as a guide.


     
  4. Make a loop above the bead and slide in lobster clasp.


     
  5. Wrap the tail around the base wire to close, trim excess wire.


     
  6. Embellish the chain tassel with beads, use the headpins to stack beads to desired style.
