  1. Love that banner. A thought on the tassels….knot the end of the cord and put a bit of glue on it and roll it in the middle-same time as the pick. As you remove the pick,give the tassel a little squeeze around the cord.
    Your drink is beautiful. Enjoy.

  2. Really fun stuff! Love your tassels & that banner is terrific. Thanks for the great ideas.
