I've seen a lot of leather tassles that are not seperated at the bottom. I haven't noticed any that have been cut apart.
Doh! Too late! I already cut them. A silk or hair tassel will hang straight down, so I understand the concept.

My idea of a tassel is that the fringe does actually goes where it wants to. Yeah, I know leather is prone to curl and such, but I like that randomness.

Thanks for the input,
