Cut away theshaded areas (to be used for the tassel at a later stage). Use the pieces as follows:
1.5 cm – for rolling around the top of the tassel.
0.6 cm – for straps
0.4 cm – the width of each tassel.
Measure 2 cm from the bottom and draw an angled line down to the right-hand corner as illustrated in this photo.

Fold the strap in half and attach the other end after having rolled the tassel slightly.

Roll the tassel together. A tip: Secure the rolled up tassel with a clothes peg until the glue has dried.
