Alright, we know I have a massive love-hate relationship with Ikea. Love the stuff. Hate the place.
What I have learned from past (mis)adventures: do not take your children with you to Ikea. Like, ever. Because they will turn into wildebeests, and you will think that your marriage is falling apart, until you finally make it out alive and realize:
Oh, I don't hate you.
I hate the store.
Everyone has their little food-isms. Some people get all freaked out by parsley, or can't stand the texture of coconut.
Mine all fall under the category of "Spicy." I don't do spicy. I don't put pepper (which to me is spicy) in anything - literally, not ever, and this was a bit of a thing when I was writing the recipe section of my book because apparently it is very weird to say "season with salt" as opposed to "season with salt and pepper."
Because...everyone on the planet but me likes pepper?
You know how sometimes posts are nice and timely? Like, Valentine's Day gift ideas posted a solid three weeks pre-Valentine's Day? Spring break outfit suggestions posted right around the time you'd like to start shopping for a new swimsuit? Et cetera?
Well, this post is the opposite of that. Because if you do what I suggest doing in this post at this particular moment in time, the result will be death. (This is less foreboding than it sounds; we're talking about Plant Death, not You Death.)
Anyway.
Oh, look: it's tassel day on Ramshackle Glam!
We'll get back to our regularly scheduled, non-tassel-related programming tomorrow, but in the meantime, here's how you make 'em. (Seriously it's so easy.)
Because you really should. Tassels make everything better.
Now, obviously fort decoration is the best possible use of handmade tassels (click here to learn how to make 'em)…but you can use them lots and lots of other places if you're not planning to install a tent in your living room (although you should).
