Tiebacks and TasselsCord, bullion, fringe, tassels, tiebacks and other trimming items have many well known uses in home decoration. Tassels are used to dress up curtains or cushions. Tiebacks are used to tie back curtains to a hook in a decorative manner. Fringe and cord is used to line pillows and cushions, while bullion is most often used to skirt furniture.

But there are many other uses for decorative trim:

1. Decorate a Blind or Roller

Fringe and braids can be used on either the bottom treatment or valance of roller shades, roman shades, bamboo or practically any type of blind. It effectively softens up the window treatment and ties it into classic decorative elements.

2. Open Up a Tassel and Refashion

All tassels come with cording that can be unraveled, cut and fashioned into something else or to pep up an existing item. Key tassels can be weaved through a bookmark to create something special, cording in a particularly elegant tassel can be refashioned into unique napkin rings, or weaved through any decorative item with grommets such as a chair jacket.

3. Extra Comfy Comforters and Voluminous Valances

Tassels of all sizes can be added to the corner of an otherwise drab comforter or fabric valance to dress up the look.

4. Custom Banners and Standards

We all know tiny tassels used in our caps in graduation ceremonies. But larger tassels and cording is used for the banners and standards used by our schools, organizations and companies. Larger tiebacks and tassels can be unraveled and refashioned to hang from elaborate banners and standards to create something truly out of the ordinary.

5. Hanging It Up

Tassels look great hanging from a door knob, setting the tone for the environment to be found within. Have lamps or ceiling fans? hang a tassel from the pull cord! Have a big bedpost? Hang a tassel from it! Key tassels can add little decorative touches to knick knacks on a shelf or on a counter. All these little details can tie a decoration together and give an area a bit more pep.
