    DIY Sporran tassels

    I didn't want my sporran to look too cookie cutter and I had the majority of fur left over from the reclaimed fox stoles I used on my full mask sporran project so I thought some contrasting tassels might be fun.

    I used the fox tails to make these tassels and am pleased with the unique outcome.

    They were on the old tassels but I wish they were more closed at the bottom like a ball rather than a bell so I'm keeping my eyes open. I did change the chains because I thought the stock ones were rather boring.

    I might have a set of ball shaped ones that I could trade you. I will need to check at home tonight.
