Friday Tip (yes, it’s Monday)

Dear Constant Reader,

I know I missed your Friday Tip this week (and B.A.B.E. students didn’t get their weekly newsletter). I was felled by a head cold this past week and wasn’t good for much more than sipping tea and reading trashy novels. Here’s your belated tip:

Trouble twirling? Your tassels might be too light.

A small, light tassel is going to be harder to twirl than one with a little heft to it. Replace it with one with a longer body or a bit of weight in the head (a plastic or wooden bead works nicely). Sally Keith was said to have weighted her famous tassels with buckshot!
