Step three | Do you want to have tassels?

Tassels are wonderfully simple to make and we think a great addition to any cushion or stocking. Each tassel kit includes all the wool you need and instructions to make 4 tassels. Note: these are tassel making kit and it will take no more than one hour to make all tassels.
