Don’t you just love tassels? They can add a finishing touch to almost anything–a lamp, a doorknob, or a window treatment. The possibilities are unlimited. You can find tassels and tasseled trims in almost every color and style you can think of. If you can’t find exactly what you want at a store, check out www.Etsy.com for some handmade tassels. (Be sure to search for home decor tassels or tassels for home. Otherwise, you’ll get some…well, let’s just say, not G-Rated uses for tassels.) They can be very formal, casual, or even whimsical. So, have fun discovering your style, but don’t overdo a good thing.
I bought these tassels at Hobby Lobby and at Tuesday Morning. I didn’t spend much money. I believe the vase tassel was around $7 and the larger ones, on the window treatments, were $10 each. (There is an identical one on the other drapery panel.) I added the tassels after finishing the panels because I thought the treatments were a little boring.
Please excuse the quality of the lamp photo. It doesn’t show the contrast of the gold tassel on the cranberry lamp…It must be the camera. Couldn’t possibly be the photographer, could it?
If you have children, be forewarned: They love to flip the tassels. It won’t bother you so much if you have only spent a few dollars on them! 
Look for bargains. They are definitely out there.
Or if you just NEED a new craft to try, make your own tassels! There’s a good article with pictures at the DIY site. Also, check out Be Tasseled, a cute blog about tassels with an easy-to-follow tutorial.
