Gold and Ecru Tassel

The gold and ecru tassel is completely handmade except for the wooden bead in the tassel head. I used DMC 100% crochet cotton in ecru and DMC Perlé as yarns for making the tassel underskirt, the bullion fringe over skirt, the ruff and the cording. The tassel head is crocheted beaded bead.

For the tassel cording, I used the kumihimo braiding technique with seven strands using gold and the ecru yarns. I like the way it turned out.
