Making Jewelry Tassels

Tassels have made a resurgence in jewelry!  To get the vintage feel of a tassel pendant, you can make your own or buy finished ones on-line.  

Thread tassels are big for light-wight earrings as well as finishing touches on a Y-style necklace o beaded bracelet.  To make your own thread tassels, check out Beadaholique 5- minute video

There are also chain-style tassels to add a more edgy look to necklaces or to create really dramatic earrings.  To make your own chain tassels, check out JTV 6-minute video.  you can get creative with the chain tassel and put  pretty bead at the bottom of each chain too.

What is really IN right now for necklaces is tassel pedants made with beads or pearls.  Beaded tassels should be a fun new idea for those who are already jewelry makers.  Or if you are new to jewelry making, have a beaded necklace that broke and saved the beads, you can restring it as it was or consider trying to create a tassel for an updated look. Below is a great 15-minute Potomac Beads video explaining an easy technique for creating beaded tassels.
