Look What I Made Today!

I have seen these gorgeous tassels in several boutique stores and online and LOVED them!! But, I was not about to pay $28 (or more) for one, so I decided I could make one! So, I gathered my supplies and set to work. About 2 hours and 2 hot glue gun blisters later, here's my finished product.

I tried it in several locations, but think it looks best hanging from the lamp in my guest bathroom.

What do you think?

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!! It ends Friday and has 2 winners!!!

I adore your "B" on the scroll stand. It looks fantastic and so full character. ~Gorgeous!

Thank you very much for your sweet comment and all of your support of my blog since day one. I have been in a little big of a blog rut lately. Sigh. I'm sure I will snap out of it very soon. *Smiles*

Have a wonderful week. ~Melissa :); April 13, 2010 at 11:50:00 AM CDT
