Tassel Fun For Everyone!

 I was so pleased to be asked by Carmi Cimicata to join in a blog hop for John Bead and their cool leather tassels and leather cording. Above is the happy mail I got!

  Of course  my first thought was jewelry and then I wondered about doing something more "crafty".  I did end up making some jewelry items but I will start with a fun burlap canvas!  I used mostly the green packaged tassels.  I also decided to be Christmas like!

I loved the gold tops to some of the tassels as they give my "tree" the illusion of ornaments.  I then added some Vintage Glass Glitter Shards and Small Connie Crystals!  I did snip off the tassel top for the angel, painted the face white and then added the face.  I spread some of the tassels for "wings" and added the crystals for the halo and hands. 

The little dove was a little addition just for fun.  I layered the tassels on the bottom row first.  Three on the bottom row, two on the second row and the angel on top! I used Designer Dries Clear Fabric Glue from Art Glitter.  It holds well and does not show when dry. 

 

This is the finished project:

As for some other things made with the tassels, I added some Art Glitter products to the tops of the tassels.  I then coated them with resin.  I filled the bezels with resin also. 

Loved using some of the NEW Graphic 45 Paper for the backgrounds.  The Couture Collection is so fun.  I used the reverse side of the image paper that had peacock feathers and added Art Glitter...Of Course!  Then I added the real feather and the resin!

This was a bit of a different bezel that is not as deep.  I used the Spring Blossoms paper in the background.  Then added Glass Glitter!

I still love the Nutcracker from last year G45! I accented this with Connie Crystal.  Love being able to knot the cord and hold the beads!

LOVE Couture! A huge FAN of it!

Hope you have enjoyed this!  Make sure and visit all the other talented bloggers using the John Bead products.  Come and join me on my blog any time.  I hope to be posting more frequently in 2014~
