1 Wind the polyester cord thirty times around your hand.
2 Put the cord around a round object and tie firmly together. Finish with a couple of knots.
3 Cut off the ends close to the knot.
4 Glue the tassel inside an end cap using Super Attak instant glue.
5 Cut the strings from each other at the other end.
6 Cut a piece of beading wire twice the desired length. Pass the wire through the loop of the end cap and pull on beads over both wires. Attach a crimp bead but do not squeeze it yet.
7 Put a lobster claw clasp in a split ring. Pass the wire through the loop of the split ring, back through the crimp bead and the upper bead.
8 Tighten, squeeze the crimp bead and cut off the excess wire.
9 Convert the handbag charm to a piece of jewellery by attaching it to a long chain.
