Tassels provide an elegant touch to your decor. They can be used as a key
chain for your antique keys adding beauty to piece and function to help prevent
key loss. Searching for tiny keys really is not our idea of fun! We were
constantly conducting all on deck searches for our back door key...until we
placed a tassel on it. We have not conducted a search since. The tassel makes
it easy to spot plus it made the back door look nice. Hang them on a door knob
or drawer knob for a unique touch. We hung one from the lid of a tall candy
dish and it always gets compliments.
