You can buy "ropes" of tassles by the yd at walmart, at least thats what I do. Instead of trying to make or buying single ones for $1.00 ea. and up. Hope this helped. *

There are tassle designs out there to make with your emb machine but, they're not really cost effective. You can make them easily with hand embroidery floss. Or I'd agree with Misscharlie again and get the ones that are premade. Good question. *4U

yep,and they are a pain in the derriere! Unless you need a specific color that you absolutely can't find, it's cheaper to buy them.;)

yes, you can make them. check secretsof.com they have some. But I surely recommend buying them. Easier and cheaper!

Best advoce anyone can give U is to buy. simpler & less expensive. *

Oh Heavens Girl, you can make tassles without embroidering them, So easy. Get two pieces of cardboard, the length of the tassle you want to make, put them together and wind a pretty thread, like crocheting cotton, around and around the length of the cardboard. when you have enough thread (guesswork) get a strong sewing needle thread it with the same thread.
Heavens, Gotta go, be back half hour to finish this, sorry

Meganne is right you can make them just the way she said. I do it all the time. Pom Pom too.

Sorry, I had five minutes to get to my doctor's appnt, then he kept me waiting half an hour. give me a few minute I'll scan the pictures i just drew, will make it easier for you to understand.
... Insert the needle between the 2 pieces of cardboard and go round and round the threads then secure by tying (needle thread) ends together.
Get a pair of scissors and insert between cardboard at the opposite end, cut the threads & remove cardboard.
Get more of the same thread and wind it around the top of the thread where you previously used the needle, (position wherever it looks best for size of tassle) tie the ends securely then trim the bottom of the tassle. Should take you longer to find some cardboard than it will to make the tassle. If you need more help,let me know.
hugs n roses, Meganne

Sally, let us know what you did. I have a couple tassel designs in the projects - not actual tassels - just a cute design - that you can attach at the end of your ribbon - that makes it fun to stitch in the same color as the bookmark. Hehehe! Take a look - better yet - post pictures of what you end up doing.

Thanks for asking the question, and thanks to the Cuties who answered for all of their great comments.

Thank you for that question. That is what this site is all about. And you received so many good answers. *4all.

You got really good answers - if I am needing a small tassel I too buy the yard of tassels, and then have plenty of extras. I even saved the remnant tassels when I made the drapery swags for my daughter. Now have a few I can use.

Yes I have one. Need time to find the site .Please email me
