I started watching, not gonna lie, was a bit like: "oh ok, tassels, yeah hmm alright why not watch, may as well, doubt I'll see anything different" To then sitting here like 😍😍😍 Oh my! That blue ribbon one! I want a hundred of those threaded onto elastic as a waistband and have an entire skirt of them! Right down to the floor! All jingling gently as you walk! Those blues! Literally the best colour combo ever! Like a peacock or a kingfisher! Jewel tones! This certainly wasn't just "another tassel" video! Absofuckinglutely gorgeous! I love how you put individual effort into your project pieces rather than bulk making quick-turn-around items to decorate journals en masse! You enjoy the process of creating, rather than knocking out items fast just for profit. Refreshing to be reminded to just make and enjoy, focus on the profit to your wellbeing rather than your purse! Too many videos lately of "let's make 25 journal cards in 1 hour" that kind of thing, turning an enjoyable creative moment into a commission incentive! Yes of course people deserve to make money from their crafts, even a little amount to keep their supplies full so their hobby is basically paid for, let alone profit. But the point of buying hand crafted items is that you want to own something completely individual, something that was made with the joy of creating it woven right into each piece. And you do that! And do it beautifully! 😘😘😘
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Well I'm glad I kickstarted your day with a hit of confidence boosting! No more than you deserve! RUclips is flooded with crafting tutorials, it's getting harder and harder to find true inspiration among the thousands of samey demonstrations! My mojo hasn't so much disappeared, as slamming it's head against a wall out of boredom! Now it wants to dance barefoot and play tambourines as it twirls around wearing a ribbon tasseled skirt! 🌼🌹🌷🌸🌺
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 Tami,...you are such a cutie. I sure agree with everything you said about Nina's fabulous tassel. Yep, she's inspiring! And YOU have a wonderful way with words,...describing how you enjoyed this video. I can actually SEE you dancing thru the park, with your blue tassel skirt,...bells ringing, beads tapping against each other. A Flower Child for sure. (I know, cuz I was there!) You sure made me smile, even laugh. You are a delightful soul!! Thanks for posting!!! 😃
What a lovely addition using the thimble, I love your tassels the colours are gorgeous and very sumptuous .... Did I spy one of my beadies on the top... Ha ha 😉 so glad you got to use some great tutorial Nina ❤️❤️ I used some eyelash trim/yarn to make a tassel, that came out lovely and fluffy, I don't think I have enough ribbons to do this! Not sure if this Boho is really me but loving seeing what you have come up with! 😊😊❤️❤️🌼🌼
Thanks Elaine. I really enjoyed making these tassels and it feels good to be in bead mode again. Sorry, but these were not your beads. I do however know what I want to make with your beautiful beads, so watch this space. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve had the beads I used for these tassels for approx 10 years, although I did accumulate rather a lot of them because I loved them so much. The maker is a lovely lady called a Robyn Montgomery who is based in the US. They only come out for special projects. Your’s will get used, so please don’t worry 💕💕💕 xxx
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia oh no no I know what you mean I've had beads for many years one thing about beads they don't 'go off' ha ha!! You use them whenever you're ready... I just thought the very top one looked like one of mine but there are only so many designs you can create on beads 😂😂📿so they looked the same. ❤️❤️❤️🌼 I am considering a bead dangle tutorial myself... I've just got to find my beads they are a bit buried at the moment but you have sparked my interest in making again with these! 😊😊😊❤️
This was a wonderful video and I totally enjoyed learning how to make tassels with you. You were prepared and professional and so much fun to watch. ♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful perfect tassels. I laughed at the idea of a tassel charm in a tassel. I have wondered if aqua and purple are your favorite colours, Nina. If pink is added to those two, it makes my favorite colours. Of course I love all colours as I'm sure you do as well. It's 82F in sunny Arizona up where I live (Northern Arizona) and expected to be 98F Thursday. Summer is my Winter in AZ (I stay inside when it's above 95F)! TFS as always. XOXOJane
Thank you Jane. I can’t honestly say I have a favourite colour as it depends on the season, but I do enjoy putting combinations of colours together. I do love aqua though, and lime green. We don’t often get temperatures that high here, but we are enjoying some warm weather at the moment, and its a very pleasant 60 - 65F. It doesn’t usually get above 75F even in the height of summer! I hope you are having a lovely week. Stay safe 💕 xoxo
Good morning nina, I admire you're able to do this on camera, fiddling with the charmes. The fabrics you used are beautiful, but I have to say the "simple" one I really loved too and so usefull you showed us how to hang it on a journal..Dangling things are playfull and light and that is what I wish for you, a light playfull sunday. Have a good week, stay safe...love lena
Good morning Lena. It sure was a bit fiddly to do on camera and stay in frame ☺️. I love making things like this and I have so many charms left over from my jewellery making days which were fun to use. Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday 💕 x
Hello Nina, just found you on youtube only yesterday and I'm very pleased, I love your videos and your cheerful voice, thank you for all your great ideas xx
Stunning ! I love the thimble tassel ! I have one of my Grandma's that doesn't fit me. This would make a fabulous idea to add to the hand bound journal I am making for my Granddaughter!! Brilliant!!!
Everybody does tassels differently...I cant wait to try this. Love the thimble for the top! And thanks for the tips about how to add trinkets. You have great ideas!
Thanks Cass. I have made several over the years in different ways, even paper ones which were fun to make too. Glad you enjoyed this method and happy creating 💕
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have been struggling for so long on how to make a fun/boho/creative tassel for bags that I sell. I needed a "wow" factor and THIS is what I have been looking for! I love to go to bead shows but always come home & just stare at them. You have given me the tools to know how to use the charms & beads that I have in my stash. And the added suggestion at the end of adding the tassel onto a binder - GENIUS! I sew journal covers as well and this will make them stand out! Thank you again!
Oh my goodness. Those are gorgeous. I see that mine are always a bit anemic compared to yours. I definitely will start using more fibers and charms. Thank you so much for the detailed assembly instructions and overall wonderful tutorial.
Boho is your jam, Nina!!! What beautiful projects this week. I can tell you have had great fun playing in your stash and creating. Thanks for letting us peek and share with you.
I've just had it there! Where did it go lol! That's me! My crafty sister LOL. LOVE THE TUTORIAL, very Beautiful Tassels. You know we crafter's, we see things when shopping and don't even know we will use them and don't even knows what they are for! But at the end of the day it all comes in very Handy to make Beautiful Projects. I surely be making these, cause I'm one of those that buy things that comes in very very handy.. Thank you for a Gorgeous Tutorial. Blessings.
Not a big Tassel girl myself, but these would be fun to make for friends whilst being stuck at home. Also could see using these as a tie back for curtains and I liked the simpler one, would def use that as a key chain or purse dangle(?). Also, made me laugh when you said "oopsie Daisy" while you were working on that Daisy(?) ribbon, lol. Thank you for sharing, these both are wonderful!
Thanks so much Ginger. I do laugh at myself for some of the things I come out with sometimes 😁. These would make wonderful purse and key chain dangles. Happy Creating 💕
I just ordered a pack of 50 thimbles from amazon because sadly I don’t have hand me down thimbles but I ADORE THIS PROJECT & I must make these… Thank you again Nina!!! 👸🏻✨
These are beautiful Nina, my favourite colour too. What a clever idea to use the thimble. A good way to use up bits of broken jewellery and oddments too 👍
Thanks Lesley, Edna made one with a bottle lid instead of a tassel and it was fantastic. Buttons would make gorgeous too. They’re a great way to use up odds and ends 💕
Those are beautiful Nina. A couple of years ago when you made these, I made some for my best friends. Neither girl is into art in any way, did not know what Boho was and by the look on their faces were not impressed. I figured they would end up in the trash or a drawer some where, but I enjoyed making them and I didn't let it bother me. I do wish I had not used some of my favorite charms though. HAHA I think I will make them for myself this time. :) BTW I have to find my box of Grandma's thimbles, love that idea.
Hello Nina, Beautiful tassels, love them. I have a box of thimbles that used to be my grandmother's. I inherited them after she passed away.I love the idea of re purposing them into something that can be displayed instead of sitting in their box in a drawer. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring. Have a lovely day!
❤️ Stunning❤️ I Absolutely Love these ❤️ Great Job 👍🏾❤️👍🏾 Very Well Explained & I can't get enough of hearing your accent.🤗🤗🤗 I could probably listen to you explain how paint dries 😂🤣😂 I Love the thimble idea & I now know exactly what I want to do with my Grandma's thimble, broken jewelry, ribbons, trim etc... I'm really excited to make a few to add to my handmade bags. Thank You for Sharing ❤️🤗👍🏾🤗❤️
These are boho-licious Nina, have to say you do do a good dangle! I’m just sorry I recently threw away some thimbles! Have a good week and stay safe 💫💕
Years ago we would use dental floss to tie tassels & macrame! Used old hoop earrings & pins, went thru rag bins & second hand shops. Back in the early 1970’s, us hippies would find decorative beauty in almost anything.
These are lovely tassels. Love the idea of using found items like broken jewellery. I have just accidentally pulled some beads off a scarf....I was going to see them back on but now I think I'll hang onto them for using on a tassel. I love the idea of them on a journal spine. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 💕
It’s good to be reminded of just how extensive my stash is. I’ve a drawer full of ribbons and trims, boxes of yarn, charms galore. And so very many beads. This sort of tassel is smack dab in the middle of my wheelhouse. It would make for a lovely focal on a simple beaded necklace. I made my first object at 10 years old and have been crafting ever since. That’s why I have so much stuff; I’ve been crafting for over 40 years now. I think I’ve tried just about every type of craft at one point or another. I know people are intimidated when they see all my stuff. I’m under the impression that Nina has a similar collection. A tassel like the blue one could easily overwhelm a new crafter just thinking about all the stuff necessary to make it. In case anyone is thinking they don’t have the supplies on hand to make tassels like this one, keep in mind that the entire tassel can be made from paper. You can even spin your junk mail into yarn with a home made drop spindle. You can also make paper tassel toppers. The cardboard tubes inside cling wrap, aluminum foil, and wax paper make wonderfully sturdy bases for a tassel top. You can use your normal art journal supplies to decorate the top. Die cuts and stamps would make for fabulous charms. I bet everyone could come up with something. I’ve even made very simple beads with just toilet paper, glue, and water. Don’t let the number of supplies keep you from making a tassel if you want to make one.
Haha! You would be right in thinking I have a similar collection. Like you I’ve tried many crafts and have accumulated a lot of supplies along the way. Simple things like buttons would make wonderful charms. I have a tassel playlist linked in the video description box showing all kinds of tassels I have made with full tutorials. Wine cork tassels, paper tassels, Jenga piece tassels ...... As you say, there are so many options. Happy Crafting 💕💕💕
Thank you Nina , a great video . I really love how you show how to make alternatives because as you said not everybody has same supplies , good advice especially now. I love how you used a thimble on your dangle. The finished product looks classy .
This is a GREAT video! Great subject. I love how much you enjoy the crafting of the tassel. I'm inspired by you, and will be doing tassels soon. YAY!!! Your teaching style is perfect. Not too fast. Not too slow. Its not easy to make an exciting video about tassels!! But you did it. Thanks for sharing your ideas & your talent. One of the best crafting videos I've seen!!! PS - Oh, and the thimble,...brilliant! I had no idea WHAT to do with all the thimbles I got in MY Mother's sewing box. Can't get rid of them. Sometimes I just sit and put them all at once, on my fingertips, and think about my Mother!!! Now, I can put them to use!!
Hello, Nina. I am so happy to have found your lovely presented tutorial. You are so talented, creative, and well-prepared. I love your neat attention to detail to every beautiful thing you design and make. Thank you so much.
Absolutely stunning!!! You are so talented, make things look so easy that I really want to try. Again you are a real inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing 🌼

What a wonderful, detailed tutorial, Nina! For me, tassels are sheer delight. Yours are so very beautiful! Thank you.
Thanks Elizabeth, glad you enjoyed it 💕
Hi Nina, a few years ago I went to a tassle-making facility in Munich. It was very interesting to see the process which was mostly done by hand.
Oh I would love to attend a facility like that 💕💕💕
Great tassels
Thank you 💕
Each one is lovely. This is a very nice video. Great ideas. Thanks!
Thank you so much Mara. Glad you enjoyed it 💕

Thank you so much.I shall be making lots of these now that you have taught me how.Yours are amazing.
Thanks Carly. Happy Creating 💕
Thank you for explaining this so well ❤️
Glad it was helpful 💕
Thanks so much. This made the process simple
It’s good to be reminded of just how extensive my stash is. I’ve a drawer full of ribbons and trims, boxes of yarn, charms galore. And so very many beads. This sort of tassel is smack dab in the middle of my wheelhouse. It would make for a lovely focal on a simple beaded necklace.
I made my first object at 10 years old and have been crafting ever since. That’s why I have so much stuff; I’ve been crafting for over 40 years now. I think I’ve tried just about every type of craft at one point or another. I know people are intimidated when they see all my stuff. I’m under the impression that Nina has a similar collection.
A tassel like the blue one could easily overwhelm a new crafter just thinking about all the stuff necessary to make it.
In case anyone is thinking they don’t have the supplies on hand to make tassels like this one, keep in mind that the entire tassel can be made from paper. You can even spin your junk mail into yarn with a home made drop spindle. You can also make paper tassel toppers. The cardboard tubes inside cling wrap, aluminum foil, and wax paper make wonderfully sturdy bases for a tassel top. You can use your normal art journal supplies to decorate the top. Die cuts and stamps would make for fabulous charms. I bet everyone could come up with something. I’ve even made very simple beads with just toilet paper, glue, and water. Don’t let the number of supplies keep you from making a tassel if you want to make one.
Haha! You would be right in thinking I have a similar collection. Like you I’ve tried many crafts and have accumulated a lot of supplies along the way. Simple things like buttons would make wonderful charms. I have a tassel playlist linked in the video description box showing all kinds of tassels I have made with full tutorials. Wine cork tassels, paper tassels, Jenga piece tassels ...... As you say, there are so many options. Happy Crafting 💕💕💕
How gorgeous! I never thought about using thimbles. I could even bedazzle them with stones too. TFS
That’s a great idea to bedazzle them with stones ❤️
Love this inspiration!! Blessings!!
Thank yo so much 💕
Although not my style I do love how your tassels turned out, amazing what you can do with recycled items.
Thanks Katrina, glad you like how it turned out 💕
I love tassels and you've just given me the courage to make one. I want it for my car keys. As always, thanks for sharing, Nina.
Glad this has inspired you to make one. Happy Creating 💕
I l love your tassels Absolutely lovely. I’m going to try and have a go 👌🥰Diane 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 I have subscribed to your tutorials 😊
So delightful! I love all the random items being put to use and the process of sorting out how and where to attach the bits and bobs.
Thanks Suzy 💕
These tassels are gorgeous and I've learned some new things that I will have to try. Thanks for sharing your time and talent! 💕
That’s great to hear. Happy Creating 💕
These are so pretty!
Thank you so much 💕
Thank you Nina , a great video . I really love how you show how to make alternatives because as you said not everybody has same supplies , good advice especially now. I love how you used a thimble on your dangle. The finished product looks classy .
Thanks so much Maria. The thimble gives it such a unique look. I love the simple yarn one too 💕

Brilliant idea for all those thimbles you acquire
Extremely beautiful!!!! I just love how you have created these wonderful tassels. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank you so much Christine. Glad you like them ❤️
This is a GREAT video! Great subject. I love how much you enjoy the crafting of the tassel. I'm inspired by you, and will be doing tassels soon. YAY!!!
Your teaching style is perfect. Not too fast. Not too slow. Its not easy to make an exciting video about tassels!! But you did it.
Thanks for sharing your ideas & your talent. One of the best crafting videos I've seen!!!
PS - Oh, and the thimble,...brilliant! I had no idea WHAT to do with all the thimbles I got in MY Mother's sewing box. Can't get rid of them. Sometimes I just sit and put them all at once, on my fingertips, and think about my Mother!!! Now, I can put them to use!!
Thank you so much Barbara, I’m glad you were inspired. I love making anything with charms, beads and dangles. So much fun! Happy Creating 💕
