It's summer-time, and this girl's really lovin' the boho style that I'm seeing everywhere.  So, I went to Hancock Fabrics and bought several fun prints to make my own blouses and then I just felt like they needed something else.  This one has such great colors, and I thought it would be fun to match up the turquoise, lime, and lemon colors that are super vibrant with cotton embroidery threads. I did fudge a little by starting out with a necklace on the sale kiosk at Nordstrom's Rack.  Then I got busy making tassels in each of the colors.  To...

Make yourself HAPPY by adding mini tassels to one of your favorite necklaces.  It's so easy with the PattieWack™ Mini Tassel Maker.  Choose 3 colors of embroidery floss for three different mini tassels.  Wind the floss around the mini tool on the 4th section to make a 2" tassel.  Tie the top and bind the neck with matching floss.  Cut the bottom of the tassel and slide it off the tool.  Make two more tassels in different colors and tie them to your necklace for a fun fashion to add to your everyday look!

You can make just about ANYTHING if you have the right tools, including this beautiful boho bracelet if you have the PattieWack™Tassel and Pom-Pom Makers.For this bracelet, just grab your PattieWack™ Mini Pom-Pom Maker and 3 colors of embroidery floss.  Wind floss around the tool on the third tier to make a 1-1/2" pom-pom.  Tie it in the middle, then cut the sides to release.  Trim it up and tie it to your favorite boho-style bracelet.  Add two more, and you've got a pretty addition to that t-shirt and jeans or shorts for the perfect summer outfit.Oh, and if you're...

How fun is this?   Covered hangers with pompoms are so simple,  yet really functional.     Wind yarn around the third section of the  PattieWack™ Pom-Pom Maker until it's nice and full.   Tie it as tightly as possible in the center  with another length of yarn.   Pull the tied yarn toward the point of the tool  to loosen the yarn slightly,  then cut the loops on both sides to release the pompom.   Now, trim the pompom and tie it to a fabric covered hanger.   Super cute!
