Featured from the trend 2018 Pantone Color of the Year: Ultra Violet, these silk ribbon tassel earrings are fun and flirty to wear. Learn to make these pair of earrings with a video tutorial.
Vergata ribbon is typically used for Kumihimo braiding, but we are using them as tassels because they create lovely thick tassels that are great for earrings or even a necklace tassel. Below is a video tutorial making tassels with vergata ribbon as well as other examples of using this technique.
Video Tutorial
Start by cutting a 5 feet long vergata ribbon. Tie the two ends together to create a loop. Using your four fingers, start wrapping the ribbon loop loosely around them, creating a width of 3″ of ribbon. Watch and follow as we use a 6″ piece of wire to make the tassel and adding a cap and beads to finish the earring dangle.
