If the tracing is too dark, you can remove the harsh lines using a rubber.
How to Make
Step 1
To start, draw and cut out a rectangle, 17cm by 5cm. You can use the template to help.
Step 2
Scribble on the back of the template with a pencil. Then, place the template, scribble side down on the rectangle. Lightly trace over the template with a pen or pencil. Remove the template to reveal the tracing.
Step 3
Trace over the words with a white crayon. Then, using watered down red watercolour paint, paint over the rectangle. The white wax crayon should resist the paint.
Step 4
Outline the rectangle with a gold deco pen and create a hole in the top using a hole punch.
Step 5
For the tassel, begin by wrapping red wool around your hand. Aim for 15 wraps but you can always do lots more. Pull the wool off your hand, then thread a length of wool through the top loops. Then pull the two ends together and tie a knot. Then, carefully cut along the loops at the bottom.
Step 6
Take another piece of thread and wrap about one third of the way down and secure tightly with a knot. Trim the tassel. Lastly, tie the tassel through the hole.
