Hey there! I’m Audra from Sallie Tomato. Today, we have a great no-sew bag accessory tutorial which adds a great little pop of personality to your handmade (or store bought) bags!
Charms to add to your bags have been a growing trend in recent years. Charms like this tiered tassel can be added to any bag or keychain, and are completely customizable.
This free Tiered Tassel project uses a few bits of scrap fabric, while also including a new technique to add quilting cottons to the back of your faux leather.
This project is suitable for lite faux leather, quilt cotton, or cork and is a great pattern to use up all those scraps!
This is a no-sew project. All you need is some hot glue and your hot glue gun to create this accessory.
