    Bouncing Tassels

    When I wear my sporran the 3 tassels drum very loudly against the front of the sporran. I notice it most when I am in quiet places. It attracts attention when I want to pass by un-noticed e.g in church. A friend of mine cut the tassels from the front of his. I don't want to do that. Any suggestions?

    But for all these great powers, he's wishful, like me
    To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea.

    Daneel,

    Place a tiny blob of 'Bluetac' behind each tassel which is then pressed firmly against the sporran front. That will hold them in place and put a stop to the noise. The 'Bluetac' can be simply rubbed off any surfaces, leaving no marks, when you want the tassels to swing again!
