1
00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:03,569
We're going to show you how to make
several different types of tassels

2
00:00:03,569 --> 00:00:05,410
using a few different materials.

3
00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:07,910
And you probably have a lot
of these materials at home.

4
00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:10,755
But if not, they're available
at your local craft store.

5
00:00:10,755 --> 00:00:14,060
To begin any craft project, you
wouldn't go wrong without starting

6
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:15,230
with a hot glue gun.

7
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:16,640
For the boutonniere,
you're going to need

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,929
some hardware-- broach
backings, a large safety pin.

9
00:00:20,929 --> 00:00:22,379
And for the boutonniere,
I'm going to show

10
00:00:22,379 --> 00:00:28,140
you a really unique technique to use
a belt buckle for the boutonniere.

11
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:32,060
We'll also need baker's twine,
some different color embroidery

12
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:34,740
thread-- and gold is
a nice way to finish--

13
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:38,369
some paper spool, scissors.

14
00:00:38,369 --> 00:00:40,179
I'm going to show you
some alternative materials

15
00:00:40,179 --> 00:00:43,679
to use for the boutonnieres,
from suede, to gold leather,

16
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:44,609
to wood bead.

17
00:00:44,609 --> 00:00:47,090
I'm also going to share with
you some cake topper ideas.

18
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:49,810
You're going to use some of
the same materials in addition

19
00:00:49,810 --> 00:00:51,640
to bamboo skewers.

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,409
And then, I'm going to show how
to adapt the same tassels we make

21
00:00:55,409 --> 00:00:58,810
for the cake topper onto napkins.

22
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:01,820
I'm going to use some vintage
napkins that we picked

23
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:04,349
up at the flea market,
which is, surprisingly,

24
00:01:04,349 --> 00:01:05,769
a very affordable option.

25
00:01:05,769 --> 00:01:07,230
You can buy them in bulk.

26
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:08,950
But you can also use new napkins.

27
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:12,349
Or, if you're super duper crafty,
you can definitely make your own.

28
00:01:12,349 --> 00:01:16,370
For the wall hanging, we're
going to use first a dowel

29
00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:18,700
to hang the tassels, lots of yarn.

30
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,730
Right now, I'm showing just
two colors for a two-color wall

31
00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:26,030
hanging, but you're probably going
to need somewhere in the range

32
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:28,219
of 10 skeins depending
on how big and how

33
00:01:28,219 --> 00:01:29,629
many tassels you want to make.

34
00:01:29,629 --> 00:01:32,680
We're going to paint the dowel,
so you'll need a great color

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,640
of pink paint, a paint brush.

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,560
You can see ours as well use and
we're going to use pink thread

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,849
to hang the tassels from
the doll most importantly,

38
00:01:41,849 --> 00:01:44,489
we're going to show you a little
tip to make the perfect topple

39
00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:48,099
every time using a small stuff or.
