I covered the back cardboard piece of the shadowbox with some material I had left over from my bathroom curtains. I then used a small section of Velcro on both the ball of the tassel and the back of the shadowbox. This held the tassel completely, but I finished it with a pearl pin (at the top of the ‘s’ in the photo) stuck into the top loop. Simple but elegant.
