broken jewelry pieces of stuff that you have collected pearls dangles trims from creating with details store calm and just scrap pieces of laces and stuff that you've just been hoarding and now you have a reason to pull them out and use them so alright now what we're going to do now this is like a scrap jar as I was telling you you know like you're going to pull out pieces of laces and trims and and stuff this is just to get you um working with stuff that you haven't that you've set aside and that you have put on the back burner or said I'm going to use this stuff I will one day so um so that's what I'm doing I'm going to try to use at my scraps instead of trying to use some of my new stuff you know I'm going to use up my scraps so I pulled from that scrap jar you know like strings of pearls and stuff that you've collected also I have scraps like this um like that just a scratch you know mistakes pull out some of this there's another piece so why you're doing this and getting prepped just you know pull out some things like that like pieces of lace like this from curtain you know stuff like that so alright now that we have a pile of things going on the first thing you're going to do is you're going to measure about how long do you want your tassel tails and remember you're going to fold these pieces in half so I'm gonna say about say 12 about 16 inches so I'm gonna cut these mounts alright I do apologize I am stick with something I don't know what I'm sick with but I am sick with something so I apologize for those that get offended with the sniffles okay so like these small pieces here are from the creating with detail or calm like here's it doesn't have to be 16 inches like I'm just pulling scraps like this is a scrap lace so I'm just going to trim this up like that and use pieces like this I'm laying them in here like a making a sandwich like here's some pearl clip off the bed um let's see here's some of this you put that in there you want different links to kind of give your your tassel some character like here's a like a worn piece and this is what's neat about this one if you have one like this you can clip off the tool like this and use the tool as well um what you're doing is you're building your your tassel up we're going to kind of put that one underneath that one kind of do that let's add a little bit of flour in there like that I will add some of this old curtain here just chop it up like that it doesn't have to be perfect in fact I don't want it to be so I've got to cut down the fold line here just you know like rip up pieces of just fabric and stuff because you want this to be a shabby and being beautiful just like that see you can put that one like underneath there with that and the last thing I want add I had some of it torn fabric that I have add some of that in there like that okay so now what you're going to do is see look how beautiful and yummy that is okay now what you're going to do just get you some crafters wire you're going to snip you off a piece you're going to locate the middle there now before you put this on now you can add a touch of chain but I'm going to show you how you can add that later in your piece this is just a broken piece of chain from a necklace so get your craft wire find your center here okay and then you're going to pull as tight as you can and you're going to twist the heck out of it like that if you have to get your pliers like that now you're going to take and snip off the end and you're going to leave this little wire piece okay like that okay so that's what you've got right there and then while you got it holding up like this you can work the laces around like that so that you can move them around and switch them around if you need to put some bracing forward put some back you know just kind of condition it the way you want things to lie a like that there we go looks nice okay so now we have the tassel on body-fixed you're going to need some corks okay now the first thing you're going to do is you're going to get you a a poker or a sharp edged tool and you're going to poke a hole in the center like this I'm filming I don't know probably next door neighbor okay you're going to poke a hole in there but before we attach our tassel we're going to cover our tassel with some beautiful lace so I'm just got this piece of lace here and there we go and I'm just going to roll it like this there's enough hot glue to catch it they're going to take your scissor and you're going to snip away like that okay then you're going to snip away the excess just like that okay so now you have your cork coward oh please go get some drink okay so now what you're going to do is you're going to take that pointy D in you're going to put your gonna put some William I got to doctor me okay you're going to take some hot glue put it on that end and push it through that hole you just created and you're going to press and hold it for about a minute because you want it to have a good hold there you go now look how easy and beautiful that's agood see alright so now what you're going to do is you are going to play around so I want it like a Tassili and so here's a piece of lace from creating with details beautiful tassel lace I think this one's though on her store I'm pretty sure it in and I'm going to glue this around the edge I'm going to glue each tassel now the glue gun I'm using is a sure bond or detailed tip glue gun they are also available over on the store and create my details they're like $14 or $12 and it's a detailed tip and it allows you to do beautiful work such as this okay so I'm just squishing them together just like that squishy squish just like this okay and we're going to do one more someone snip there we go and there we go beautiful okay so the next thing you're going to do is you're going to pull out some 22 gauge wire this is jewelry wire and we're going to do some beading now the first thing I want to do is I'm going to take my needle nose pliers and I keep throwing everything over here on the side so we're going to take our needle nose pliers and we're just going to create like a little loop de loop on the end like that okay and I'm just going to press it flat like that now this loop I'm going to glue underneath here like this okay so I'm going to put a little bit of hot glue right there and I'm going to push this end and then we'll push some of the trim to hide it so it looked like it's coming out you know from underneath just give it a little pressure right there clock is going all the times at 5 o'clock good lord it's have a clock somewhere okay so now we have our wire and I have an array of B and I have some beautiful um pink beads here I have a tassel from prima and cute and I'm going to get out some dangles that I have like here's a dangle when I use a plastic dangle yeah we use those I also have a couple of beads or well this a button there we go I have a couple of these feeds that look like they have roses on them see really cute you can find these at Michael's or Joanne's or wherever now I'm going to start beating on put a large bead put like a little pretty little cherski be there okay now I have those beads and now I'm going to press and make a twist in the wire like that see make a twist let me zoom in on this process because I really want you to see this let me lose my camera okay see there we go now you're going to press now I'm going to put a larger bead another and put a gold bead on here then put a larger shore ski on there like that okay then I'm going to twist like this twist around like that okay there we go now I'm going to put a dangle like so here we go then we'll put another bead another parallel and see another little Biddy cherski here okay now what I'm going to do is leave the end of this wire into the trim so that I can tighten this up because I don't want to go any further until I've tightened it so be patient pull that through like that and it doesn't matter if it's all twisted and pretty because that's what I want I want to twist it there we go now I'm going to take this and feed it underneath this loop here like that take my needle nose pliers and pull like that there we go now I'm going to twist there we go just have a wonky look to it now right here I have room to hang a beautiful dangle from or you can glue a bead or whatever it is you're wanting so what I'm going to do is I'm going to use one of these beads here like that then I'm going to feed it like this so basically what you're doing is you're sewing with the wire and you are just adding beads as you go see something cool with a little just love it love love love it so now I'm going to make another weave we'll try to weave it under here now I'm not I'm just going to wrap it around like that now I'm gonna add another bead let's add a small pink one and let's add a large one another small one like that okay again you're just going to go back through well you can wrap it go back through you can twist it like this again now what I'm going to do is weave it underneath catch that applique pull this away from it and pull through like that and I got a kink in it there we go it will take a little practice but I like making means I am just a moment there we go what this does it just locks your your wire in there like that see just locks it in there very pretty very cute so now what I want to do is I'm going to add another dangle well on this prima dangle and I'll add another bead we're almost to the end here there we go another cherski here there we go

little bead cap there actually won't snip some of this off there we go I won't feed it back through there like that pull it bring this over and now what I'm going to do is just pull this taut like that and see you've got all of that beautiful weaved wire dangly chunky beautiful pearls and then right here at the end I am going to add the last Shore ski that I want to put on there like that with a pearl and then with my needle nose I'm going to take it and I'm going to feed it through underneath there take it give it a twist as I can hang a charm from the loop made then as you go as you twist you're tightening look at that those are those are gorgeous yes it is okay got little dangles beautiful shore skis and like right here if I would see I'll twist it and kink it and just get it tight around there like that and then you can take jump rings get a few jump rings here these beautiful charms here are available over on creating my details store you're just going to hook that right there and close and close the jump ring I thought make sure it's close look at that see you can hang a bangle from it okay over here you can get her let's see you can hang another one of these like this just figure it through there like that and feed it through there like that picture pliers and there you go another beautiful dangle so yummy chunky beautiful and very very shabby chic okay so now what you're going to do is you're going to figure out if you want to add more to this edge like this beautiful trim we look gorgeous so that's one one years will clip off with bad part so I want to locate just take some glue like that and you're going to add this around and I'm going to snip it off excuse me my nose digit I'm gonna have to stop the video so I can go blow my nose and then you're going to pin it around there all right so now um let me go blow my nose and see if you want I'm gonna back this out at this process you can lay it out and go through and clip if you need to clip you know just everything at an angle I always do that like that there you go like that give that a little clip get that a little clip give that a little clip you know what it does is it just makes it look cleaner and more beautiful and very well-dressed unless you want the raw edges but if you take the little extra time to clip off the edges there then you're going to comment basically with your
