Filled with richly colored photographs and good step-by-step instructions, this volume offers more than 50 ideas for sprucing up decor by incorporating various types of fringes, tassels, and other trimmings. The projects are divided into nine sections, exploring eight diverse styles (ethnic, classical, calicoes, French, florals, rustic, medieval, and tartans and checks). The final sections provide instructions on designing and making your own tassels, with an example provided for each style. Projects include curtains, valances, swags, wall hangings, pillows, bolsters, table drapes, chair covers, bed canopies, and footstools. And the directions do not merely hint at adding trims to preexisting items--each set of instructions spells out how to create items from scratch.
