Tassel earrings with a twist

I love being able to use unconventional items in my jewelry making process, and these little curtain tassels are no exception. This is my twist on Martha Stewart's tassel earrings: with just a few items you can transform a pair of these fringed ties into chic jewelry! All you need are:

*A pair of tassels (mine are 1 1/2" long)
*Two earring hooks
*A handful of beads 
*Two eye pins
*Clear nail polish

Step 1 Create a beaded base

Taking your eye pins, string on a few beads in a pattern you like.

Pretty light (compared to other chandelier earrings)! These are fairly small and not suppperrrr thick :)
