The Break-Away Tassel was specially designed to split in half with pressure as a child safety mechanism.  Once it snaps and becomes two, one just needs to snap it back together.  It is constructed of two parts with four holes for strings.  Two strings are part of the tassel, one on each side, and two are loose.  To put the tassel back together, place the two strings back in their spots and click the two sides of the tassel together.  Voila – your tassel is “fixed.”
