Making gold tassels for the Royal Mews


Something a little different for my latest video.

I've been working on these tassels for many years, it is a wonderful experience to be entrusted with the fine materials and to know that these will play a role in important events for years to come.

Many have asked about the process, so while this isn't strictly a tutorial, you can see how these are put together.

  1. Just finished watching a repeat of the coronation - some truly remarkable textiles! Not least the lovely tassels on the footman - some of them looked quite shiny and fresh!!! Enjoy the festivities. xxx

    1. Yes, I noticed some nice shiny ones with tidy ends - the old ones aren't connected through the eyes so spring about a bit. xx
