Many folks have seen fat, elaborate tassels created for pillow trims, but think this is a bit too dimensional to use on a canvas that might have a tassel painted as part of a design.
Needlepoint.com has worked out a neat way to create a smaller tassel that is worked into the canvas just like any other stitch. This is perfect for the tassel on the tip of Santa's stocking cap, for a tiny graduate mortar board tassel, for anything that needs a tassel but not a really prominent one.
