Let's Make a Tassel - With Kelley Rao

Tassels can really elevate a handbag! Learn how to master this relatively simply technique with me. But wait! Not just ONE technique but TWO. I love to share with you ALL my bag making knowledge so you, too, can be a bag maker extraordinaire!
UPDATE: No need to use glue unless you want to on the vinyl version. Here's an updated video for a fabric (fabric and vinyl) tassel: • Let's Make a Fabric Zi...

I love your video, I haven't made tassels but I will try to now! Your awesome!!! I'm glad found your channel.

[@victoriagates7281]

What an excellent instructor you are! Very clear & great info! Thank you!

[@lthornb1]

Thank you Kelley! When I make tassels I anchor the material down with painters tape at the top and bottom so it doesn't shift while I'm cutting. If you want you can just put it at the top.xoxo

Great video Kelley. I have some tops that I purchased months ago but have not made a tassel yet. Now you have inspired me to get going on it. Thank you so much.

Thank you Kelley! I just found this video and even though I have made tassels, I still learned a lot of great tips! I can hardly wait to make my next tassel with fabric on the back! They look so pretty 😍. It was a great video and I really enjoy your sense of humour! -Stephanie

I made my first leather tassel last week and was really pleased. A couple years ago I found an extra large men’s leather jacket at resell and just now got brave enough to cut into it. Thanks for this video on using the (bells) if that’s what it’s called.

[@sandieross2923]

I love all of the tassels. They’re awesome!! I have made a couple of different styles that I’ve seen here and there but my biggest problem is finding big bead caps or something the to use at the top of the tassels! If you know of a place where I can purchase some of the ones you’re using can you please point me in that direction? It would mean a lot to me.

[@orionshomeproductions]

[@suebates5267]

Hi from Australia.I have just found you and I think you are awesome.

[@sewkelley]

Thank you! ♥️

[@goddessrenee]

I use a tiny cordless screwdriver for the screws! It has been super easy! No glue necessary!

[@sewkelley]

I'll have to try! The screws are super long!

[@goddessrenee]

Kelley Rao let me know... I can tell you the name of my screwdriver! I have the tassels you mentioned and mine has worked with them so far!

[@melissaturner5178]

For a brand new person to your channel & bag making, links of what you use would be so very helpful. I always count on links. Lol

[@sewkelley]

Great idea!

[@zoelatimer1123]

where did you say you got the shorter keychain findings?

[@chrissherwin8809]

Thanks Kelly, great tutorial and great sense of humour, love them both, what did you use to adhere your fabric to vinyl with please.
