This sunny mat can be used daily or for milestone photos. I used it once a month for taking photos. I used it 12 times, as it's for 12 months. I only used it for photos. All tassels are included. Also, as the material tends to attract dust and lint, I will remove as much as possible before packing, but it won't be perfect, so please purchase only if you understand this. This round-shaped pad features a star-patterned quilted design and colorful tassels.
