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! 😘😘😘

KZread 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!

@@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!!! 😃

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!

What a wonderful, detailed tutorial, Nina! For me, tassels are sheer delight. Yours are so very beautiful! Thank you.

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

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
