Fold the fabric in half so that it faces externally, and leaving enough room for the branch to pass through, sew all around, about 5 mm from the edge.

Prepare the string for hanging the tapestry. Pass the string through the areas you just left unsewn, then tie its ends together.

Pass the branch through the same section as the string.

Set the Tassel Maker (small) to 3. Wind the embroidery thread onto the tassel maker 8 times to make a tassel of about 3 cm. Use the No. 8 embroidery thread to make a cord for the tassel by tying it into a loop.

*Make it so that the cord extends about 1 cm from the tassel.
