I’ve seen it so many times before<\/strong> and yet it always amazes me<\/em> that having to seek solutions to design problems always leads to a better finished design<\/span> than if you didn’t have the problem in the first place.<\/p>\n

\"tasseled<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not entirely sure that calling this beautiful hand-painted Chinese porcelain bead a “problem” is at all correct<\/em> , but, in my mind it just seemed a bit small for a focal bead.<\/p>\n

The solution, creating a tassel out of beaded chain,<\/strong> makes the bead so much more than it would’ve been otherwise. Not to mention that tassels are trendy and fun to wear.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you but whenever I wear a necklace with tassels I find there’s something irresistible about it<\/em> and I can’t help but play and fiddle with it all day long.<\/em><\/p>\n

So take another look in your bead stash<\/strong> and perhaps find a bead that you thought wasn’t quite large enough to be a focal. Give it a fun tassel and make yourself a great new necklace!<\/p>\n

For only some<\/strong> of the beads was able to find links to the exact ones I used. Otherwise I gave you a link to a page of several supplies to choose from. Hope you find this list helpful!<\/em><\/p>\n
