Glamping Time with Tassels!

It's that time of year, Yay!! The kids are getting restless, the weather is decent, flowers are ready to bloom and it's time to go outside and play.  What a perfect way to play, than by building a tent!  

I found these amazing tents with a tutorial on CAKIES Blog and she gives complete sewing instructions for building the perfect tent.  

And of course, you'll want to put your personal touch to the tent with tassels, to create a grand entrance to the tent.  Just grab your Pattiewack Tassel Maker and make 5" tassels, string them to a cord, and tie to the tent posts.  My goodness, you could even do this to a tent you already have, right?

Okay, now I must get out in the yard, take the wiener dogs out for a walk, and think about making tents.

Tribal Tassels - DIY Necklace

Tassels and beads are the perfect combination for this tribal take on a necklace you can wear with anything!  It is SO easy, if you have the PattieWack™ Mini Tassel Maker.  Here's how....

Wind embroidery floss around the tool at the 4th section of the mini tool for a 2" tassel.  Tie the top and the neck with a contrasting floss.  Cut the bottom of the tassel and slide off the tool.  Attach to a chain, make four more and add to the necklace.  You can use jump rings if you're into jewelry making, or just tie them on.  

And there you have it.  Super cool, fun, and easy to make.  Oh, and you could even make one for your friends, too.  P.S. You don't have to tell them how inexpensive it was. LOL

I love Tassels

You know how much I love Tassels, and there are countless images of tassels on the internet, and I'm always browsing for beautiful tassels for inspiration to make my own.  

In my internet journeys, I found the most amazing tassel pics at 

http://thepeachskin.tumblr.com/

I love this beautiful outfit, and the tassel necklace and bracelet make it so pretty.  Love the peace sign, love the beads, I just love it ALL!

The unbelievable colors in this necklace are simply delicious.  The tangerine tassel combined with the turquoise beads and knotted string are a beautiful combination.  I can see wearing this with a crispy starched white and a pair a indigo skinny jeans.

The ombre dye technique on this tassel really caught my eye, and shows how a simple silk tassel can be dipped into dye for an organic and thoughtful decoration on any door. 

And this one is extremely elegant in it's simplicity with the pure white embroidery floss and wooden beads, just slightly dipped in an ash brown dye.  Beautiful!
