What you need for work

To make textile decor you need to prepare the following.

Yarn of one or several shades.
A square of cardboard 15 cm wide.
Scissors.
Carbine.
Sewing threads.

Making a brush

Let's proceed directly to production.

We begin to wrap the cardboard with threads. The number of layers depends on how fluffy you want the finished product to be.. The yarn should be located in the center of the cardboard. Wind the threads as tightly as possible, then it will be easier to cut them.

ADVICE. For the template, it is better to use rigid cardboard that will not bend.

Then tie a tight knot at the top winding
After this we can remove the cardboard paper, we won't need it anymore.
Then cut the loops at the bottom.
It’s rare that you can cut perfectly straight the first time, so ends need to be trimmed.

Using brushes

Then attach a carabiner to the tassel, which will not only attach the pompom to the bag, but will also become An excellent addition to a handmade product.
You can also wind the threads near the carabiner itself, making a kind of “cap” for a decorative part.
Such products can be made both short and long, lush or sparse.
After that textile decoration can be attached to a handbag, backpack or even on a knitted basket.
