First I have to say your tutorials are so amazing! You are always in frame, very well spoken & describe things perfectly! I will attempt to describe this but I won't be as clear as you especially using just words. Regarding your tassle & hiding the knot... the string you use to knot the end with, cut it longer, fold it in half & and tie a knot near the end leaving the ends a bit longer than your tassle ends. With the string folded in half, separate the strings placing the long loop on top and bring the tails around to the underneath side of the tassle head and tie a double knot letting the tail blend in. Then take your last string and proceed the way you did making sure the head covers the double knot. Finish the way you do it.. now you have only a loop to take through the book mark with no knots showing. I hope this makes sense!!
I recently bought a maker for my 12 year old daughter who is quite crafty. Thanks to your tutorials we spend quality time crafting together, and I find myself loving crafting as much as she does. Dad's can craft too!
You saved my life. I need to make very simple place cards for my son's upcoming wedding and needed to create it myself. Nothing was working until I watched this. Thank you SO much.
Thank you very much I was looking for a tutorial for days to use the Cricut Foil Kit and this is perfect! You explain everything from scratch, thank you very much
Ms Kayla what a GREAT tutorial!!! This the first time I've watch one of yours. I really appreciate when ppl doesn't rattle on about all different things and just teach.....Thank You! You made this so easy to understand. I am going to go get my materials out and try making one. Thanks again!
I just pulled mine out today and tried it. Was fixing to send it back until I saw your video. Wish I could show you a pic. THANK YOU SO MUCH for going into detail about the machinetype , pressure, and material. I can't wait to make more projects!!!!
Your Tutorial was great! You had my attention the whole time, your are clear and concise. A pleasure to watch and learn from. I've had the foil transfer kit since the day it came out and just didn't know what to do. With this simple idea from you I was finally able to use it with ease. I made two bookmarks within 20 minutes of watching. Thank you!
Just take the part of the string where the knot is tied and pull it until the knot ends up in the big bulb area at the top of the tassle. The tassle will still attach to the bookmark the exact same way, but your knot will be hidden inside the bulb on the tassle. Nice clean look. Hope this helps!
I can’t wait to get mine. I just ordered mine yesterday through the home shopping network (hsn.com) I was able to get the foil transfer tool, lightweight mat, Kraft board (30 sheets) , scraping tool, rose color foil all for $46! I almost waited until Black Friday to see if they had any deals but then I found the bundle on HSN. I am not affiliated with HSN and never shopped on the website before but I had to share this great deal with other people who like to save money where they can.
Just got the Foil Tool as a gift. The gift giver made a beautiful gift tag for me using her foil tool. I LOVE the look! I really love the bookmark you made...it came out AMAZING! Thank you for making this video and for always explaining everything so well! I completely agree with you and the other viewer...sure hope Cricut makes this and everything compatible with the Design Space app, and with the Joy Machine! Whenever possible, I work completely through the app on my iPad! Thank you again Kayla...always love to watch your channel!
My hubby just recently got me the Cricut Maker 3, therefore I'm new to the Cricut family and still learning, so thanks for all you great videos. I've been a crafter for over 30 years, but mostly in dollhouse miniatures in 1:12. There's no more room in my house for more dollhouses or miniature shops, so over the last few years, I got into other crafts. Please keep up the good work and thanks so much for sharing ... ❤️ from Germany
I have watched so many cricut tutorials and I have to say your explanation and presentation was the best. I am definitely going to subscribe. I can learn a lot from you
Some great tips to know about the foiling tool, as I just ordered one online a few days ago. Sorry that I didn't see this video 1st, as I would've ordered through your link.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your speed is perfect! You are concise and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your tips! I watch tons of videos and get a tiny bit annoyed if it drags on too long. Again, you are a pleasure to watch and listen to! Much appreciated. I will send my friends to your channel as well. Sending a virtual hug!
Lovely project. The Maker tends to need less pressure and I’ve seen a few saying use less than default however I used mine the second time with the foil quill and forgot to change from default pressure on medium cardstock and it worked fine. I love the results it gives
I loved this video, I have had my cricut for a few weeks and not once did i imagine this could be don't with foil!! how pretty! and thank you for sharing with such patience!
Wow...I'm so glad your video came in my feed. My sister gifted me the foil tool set a few months ago and I never tried it. You explained it sooo well. I can't wait to make note cards for her as a thank you.
Hey! Thanks for the video... so to hide the knot all you would have to do is tie the knot and then before threading it through the bookmark, spin the thread (that attaches the tassel) so that the knot is hidden inside the tassel. That way when you loop it through at the end, the knot wont be seen and it will be a plain loop!...hope that makes sense!
I wished I watched your video before attempting to make a birthday card for dad with the foil transfer tool lol, much fustration and innocent trees lost lol Thank you for the awesome video thou, I'll keep the less pressure trick in mind next time I decide to make another card 🤣
Thank you so much for this video Kayla! I finally bought myself the foil kit and am excited to use it. You made it look very simple and easy. And the tassel tutorial? Genius!
Thank you Kayla.. Great video. When I make a bookmark, I simply get a good ribbon I like and cut the ends on a slant and slip the ribbon through the hole. Just another choice. thanks for tips and I want to buy the cricut tool organizer through you. Thanks again.
Really nice I got the foil tool still didn’t use it. I love ❤️ your tassels really easy and cute. I’m in a book club I have to make these for everyone! 😍 thanks for the great idea!
Hi Kayla, first I wanted to say that i love your creations and I love learning from you. I just wanted to comment on the issue of the knot. I thought that maybe if you just rotate the knot to the inside of the tassel and put a dot of hot glue it can hold it in place and will not be showing as it will be hidden. Let me know if you try it and if you found a better way.
Kayla, some of us older folks have a hard time following your cursor around the page. Can you make it much larger or highlight it with a colored circle to make it easier to follow you around the design center. Thanks, Newbie.
Hi Kayla! I just got a Maker and followed your instructions for the bookmark...1st project and turned out great!! Except, somehow I missed the "cutting" out the bookmark part. I apparently just foiled my cardstock and didn't have the Maker set to then cut out the bookmark? Help! What did I miss in the instructions??? Thank YOU!!!
Wonderful tutorial! I used it to make a bookmark, too, but I just used medium cardstock. Do you know what the issue is with the foiling? I wanted to make my same bookmark on faux leather next. But when I went to make it, hardly any materials showed up allowing me to select them. If I remove the foiling text box, I can make my project. But as soon as I add the text box with foiling, I can't select any materials. I want to do it on faux leather now.
Is this better than cutting the cardstock then foiling using minc? I've had a few things customized using a cricut and I don't find it as pretty as something foiled with a minc. Could I be using the cricut wrong?
Hello, I'm new to your channel and enjoyed watching you make the book mark. I have the foil kit and I'd love to see how you can apply it to faux leather. Your book mark came out beautiful!
