Boho Gypsy Tassel Tutorial Using Grandma’s Thimbles 

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! 😘😘😘

This is the best tutorial! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Beautiful 💖💖💖💖

Absolutely gorgeous, quick and easy, very creative, tfs xxx

Love this.... Beautiful!

Beautiful ! Thank you Nina . Kind regards - Judi - Australia

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!

TFS your creative and wonderful ideas! And dare I say...Inspiring as well?!?!

Wow! These are gorgeous! TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe!

This is beautiful. I really enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you.

They're are fabulous xxx

Fabulous tutorial Nina. These are lovely xx.

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

Hallo Nina, thank you for your boho Gipsy tassel. They looks soo beautiful. Best regards Gerlinde 🥰🌷

I love these tassels. Thanks for sharing this

I really love them.

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. ♥️♥️♥️

Each one is lovely. This is a very nice video. Great ideas. Thanks!

Wonderful, beautiful tassels! I love the idea with the thimbles! Thank you!!! 👏🏻👍🏻😍😍😍

Love this inspiration!! Blessings!!

Love the blue tassel! Thanks!

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.

Loved watching you make these tassels....cant wait to give it a try....thanks

How inspirational. Great ideas that I can’t wait to try.

Great tutorial. Loved the colours.

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!

Thank you for your clever ideas👏😊🌹

Wow what a gorgeous and elegant tassel, love all the colors of the ribbons. Like also the simple one.

Just watched this video. . . Beautiful tassels. You have inspired me to try my grandma's thimble. Thank you for the share. Love the results!!!

Amazing how you make scraps look so beautiful

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

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! 😊😊❤️❤️🌼🌼

Love these tassels! ❤️

Thank you so much.I shall be making lots of these now that you have taught me how.Yours are amazing.

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!!!

❤️ 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 ❤️🤗👍🏾🤗❤️

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!!! 👸🏻✨

Thanks so much. This made the process simple

Very beautiful tassels. Thank you for sharing.

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

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

These are smart and lovely ideas! Very pretty also. Thank you for sharing.

I love these will definitely add to my list thanks for sharing

Been saving old thimbles forever, what a great idea. I just love your tassel making Nina.

absolutely love these thank you..

Absolutely gorgeous

Great tassels

I l love your tassels Absolutely lovely. I’m going to try and have a go 👌🥰Diane 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 I have subscribed to your tutorials 😊

Really interesting watching you manipulate these tassels, Nina - not something I've ever done 🙂

Unbelievable.So surprised the crockadile cut the thimble.Using it as a bead cap is genious.Thank you for this tutorial

Thank You, They are Beautiful.

Thank you for explaining this so well ❤️

Just gorgeous!

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.

Beautiful ,I love the thimble idea ! HUGS

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.

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.

Gorgeous tassels!! Thank you so much for the wonderful ideas!!!

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 💫💕

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.

This was an oldie but goodie! Thank you! I learned a lot!

Brilliant idea for all those thimbles you acquire

Gorgeous tassel!!!😍Love all the charms. Great tutorial.🌼🌻💙🌹🙏

These are so pretty!

Well now thimbles are added to my list when I'm off to the secondhand shops! I like how you give examples of alternative materials! Lovely tassels! 🤩

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 .

I appreciate the influence you have given me to use up some of my hoard. On my road to a better more free me in 2023

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 🌼

I just love the work of art you have created. I’m beginning to learn tassels and I’m amazed

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 👍

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 💕

These tassels are gorgeous and I've learned some new things that I will have to try. Thanks for sharing your time and talent! 💕

Extremely beautiful!!!! I just love how you have created these wonderful tassels. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

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!

Beautiful charm tassels Nina, I love them all, x

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.

these are wonderful!!! I'm definitely going to make a few!

Beautiful! Thank you for your great explanation. Your video was so clear to watch.

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.

Hi. I just found your channel today, and I love tassels, boho, and everything shabby chic. So I have become a subscriber.

How gorgeous! I never thought about using thimbles. I could even bedazzle them with stones too. TFS

What a great idea! 👍🌹🌹🌹

Although not my style I do love how your tassels turned out, amazing what you can do with recycled items.
