Here is a recipe for a crocheted drawstring bag with tassel decorations on both ends of the string. Unless the tassel is sturdy and won't come off even if pulled, you might be a little worried about using it.
So I tried attaching the tassel in a more secure way, as shown on this page. I hope this is of some help to you. The piece, which features a tassel made from the string of a drawstring bag, is called "[3000 Likes! Commemorative] Motif Drawstring BagPlease see the knitting instructions on the " page.

String to attach the tassel to Cardboard Yarn Scissors Sewing needle
Instructions
①Thread the string through the drawstring bag. Here, we are weaving a chain into a string, leaving about 15cm of thread at the end of the chain. Other things you will need are scissors, a stapler, and cardboard to use as a backing.
*All of these drawstring bags are knitted using double strands of yarn, so when making the tassels, all of them are knitted using double strands of yarn.
②At the very edge of the chain, gather the two strings together and tie a knot.
③When you tie a tight knot at the base, it will look like this.
④ Wrap the thread around the backing paper six times. We used a 6cm wide backing paper here. Adjust the width of the backing paper to fit the length of the tassel.
⑤ Remove the bundle of thread from the backing and place the drawstring between the knotted ends of the thread.
⑥ Tie the end of the thread so that it wraps around the tassel thread bundle.
⑦ Tie it tightly.
⑧It will look like this.
9. Fold the tassel thread bundle in half.
10. Cut the thread to a length of about 15-20cm and tie a knot at the top of the tassel.
⑪Once you have tied the thread like this, thread a sewing needle through the end of the thread.
⑫ Insert the darning needle through the knot of the skein and mix the end of the thread into the bundle.
⑬Mix both ends of the thread into the bundle.
⑭ Cut the loop below the tassel and trim it to the same length.
⑮ Attach a tassel to the end of the other string in the same way and you're done.
⑯Please refer to this if you want to attach the tassel securely.
