  Step 1

  Start by making 2 tassels. Cut a rectangle shape of leather 6cm by 12cm.

• 

  Step 2

  On the back measure 3cm from each end. Join the 2 points with a diagonal line.

• 

  Step 3

  Turn the pieces of leather so the short end is at the top.

• 

  Step 4

  Using a pair of sharp scissors cut slits into the leather starting from the diagonal edge. Do not cut all the way through. Leave about 5mm uncut at the top.

• 

  Step 5

  You then have two piece of leather that look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Add some strong glue into the large cord end caps.

• 

  Step 7

  Tightly roll the uncut edge of the leather starting from the long side of the fringe.

• 

  Step 8

  Push this end into the cord end. Hold for a few minutes to make sure it is held and leave to dry.

• 

  Step 9

  Take your two tassels, a handbag charm, jump rings and a short piece of chain.

• 

  Step 10

  Use 2 pairs to open the jump rings. To open and close jump rings hold either side of the opening in the ring with a pair of pliers. Move the ends in a forward and backwards motion. Never pull the jump ring apart sideways, this deforms the shape of the ring.

• 

  Step 11

  Using the jump rings attach one end of the chain to the handbag charm and the other end to one of the tassels

• 

  Step 12

  Use the last jump ring to attach the other tassel directly to the handbag charm.
