Get your fringe, ribbon and toppers ready. If my plan works, and I can make it through the horrendous process of writing, photographing, and being disciplined, I'll soon finish something.
It's an ebook. A tassel how to ebook. And not just any tassel tutorial, it's the Nester's Complete, Ultimate Guide to Making the Most Beautiful, Proportional, Fluffy and Full Tassels That People Will Fight Over; For You to Sell or Give Away. I'm still working on the title.
This is not a simple tutorial, this ebook will tell of my tips, techniques and resources. If all goes according to my plan, it should be available November 23rd, which should give you plenty of time to make tassels for Christmas gifts.
If all doesn't go as planned, I'm just going to pretend like this post never happened.

You crack me up (pretend this post never happened). :)
So funny, I just bought the stuff to make my first tassel at JoAnn's on Friday. Can't wait for you to tell me what to do!
I seriously cannot wait! I think a Christmas present or two for me is in order! You rock!
Yay!!! Finally! Christmas, here we come.
Great!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't wait for you to spill the secret on how you make these beauties! In the meantime while we all wait in anticipation could you give us an idea of the supplies we need to be gathering ie how much trim should we buy. Is a yard enough? Sooooo excited!

I like the title, I just don't think it's long enough! LOL!
Sounds like fun, I'm interested to see what the tassels get used on-I'm wondering if I might need some in my kitchen, actually.
I can't wait!
I'm so excited!
I actually love the title. I say go with it. :-)
Layla
ROCK ON!!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Great Idea!!
That's awesome! I DO think your proposed title is WAY too short though. Not descriptive enough. :-)
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm usually pretty okay at figuring things out on my own, but I have been frustrated for a long time with not knowing how to put together a tassel.
So yay! Be encouraged! Your ebook will be loved and appreciated!
Yeah! I have been wanting tassels for my mistreated windows. I want to make my own. I can't wait for the ebook.
I would love to work on them over Thanksgiving so please please please get it out on time.
Sounds wonderful!
Oh my goodness I am so excited about this!!!
Dear Nester,
Are you going to sell tassels on Etsy ever ever again?
Love,
me
I like the condensed title. ; ) Whatever you decide to call it, I'll look forward to it {unless this never happened and then I never said that}.
I am sooo looking forward to that e-book! I'm rootin' ya on, too. You can do it! Go Nester, Go!
I would love to know where you get the birds and roosters on the tassels! You must complete the ebook....I cant wait!
Hip Hip Hooray!! I love your tassels! And have always wanted one! Stinken debt! But now maybe I can make one with things in my home!!!!! Whoo hoo!!!
WOW -- I feel like I'm horribly late today! Ohhh... I can't wait for the tutorial!
Oh that is good news! I tried to make one once, it was ok, but not more than that. Can't wait for all the insider tips. So go get yourself to your office and get writing. I know you can do it!
You can pretend ... but we'll all be waiting...
Yes, please post where you get the materials to make it and how much is needed so we are ready before the tutorial. I can feel a project coming on.
Wow! I'm so excited to read this ebook and try making some tassels of my own! :)
I think that is the perfect title!
How fun!
Danielle
Oh Yay!!! I get to make a tassel!
WOO HOO! I've been waiting for your trade secrets! I am so excited!
I'm totally hyperventilating! My tassels are all long and slender and just don't have a ton of pizazz! Soooo excited!
Woohoo! I guess this now saves me the expense of having to buy one of your tassels, only to completely take it apart at my mad attempt to figure out how you make them, then never, ever be able to put it back together again like the Nester. Seriously, I have many times contemplated doing just that to try and figure out how you make them. Thank you soooo much for doing this. I want tassels all over my house!!! :)
Oh yay!
Thanks for this!!
Oh, and did I tell you I know your friend in real life, Sarah Pay? Small world!
Thank you so much I almost bought a book on Amazon about this but now I will wait because I know your tassel tutorial will be fab!
I am so excited. I can't wait. I read another tutorial on the internet and bought the supplies to do one, but I know yours will be so much better.
I'm anxiously awaiting tassel tips. Best of luck with your writing; I'm sure all will go well, if your blog is any indication!
This is so funny that you post this today. This weekend I went and got some candle cups to try my hand at one for my bathroom door knob. I made my first one just yesterday and I have a few other places that I "NEED" them. I can't wait to see your tips because your's are the cutest!

I love your working title. ;)
You are too funny! You can pretend but we will all remember :)
I love the title you've got so far, I say go with it!
Yay! I can't wait!
I so can not wait!!
can't wait!!!
YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!! I was planning on trying to make one as a gift without knowing what I was doing. I'm so excited to learn from the pro. : )
Yeaaahhhh!!! I love your tassels! Hope your writing goes well.
GEt busy Nester! I want that e-book! I would seriously love to know all your tips. Your tassels are always fabulous!
Girl-get busy! I can't wait!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Nester! I'm sooo excited! I can't wait. I've been just dying to make one of those tassels for soooo long. Oh my goodness, I'm all tingly with excitement. I think I'll make on for my truck! What do you think?
Maybe a I can get a hammer to put on top! Or a little plastic table-saw! Do you think I could find one of those? Or maybe a tape measure! It could be a working tape measure! And I could hang it from my belt!
That sounds great! I just can't wait.
A tape measure tassel... sigh.
:-)
GASP!!! I never thought of that! I have a truck! I could make a tassel for my truck-WITH A TRUCK ON IT!!!
Oh, now I have to have one. I'll be searching through the matchbox cars for a '99 Wedgewood Blue Metallic F-150.
This is such GREAT news for us all!!! You have to charge for this, don't you? I am sure we would all be willing to pay for your expertise. Blessings!
seriously! because i tried once and it looked anorexic...so now i just stick to sewing.
You are sooooo generous! You should be writing a tassel book! We'd all buy it! Can't wait. These could be Christmas gifts... yahoo!!!!
I'm sure you'll make your deadline with fabulous, flying colors!
Excited!!
thank you can't wait...thanks for sharing...pat h
Can't wait!
Oooh, I am excited about this as my current curtain tiebacks are rubberbands. Looking forward to it.
Nester!!!! You read my comment? You are really going to show us how to make them? I am so excited!!!
I cannot express how happy I am! I have never been able to get up early enough to purchase a tassle from you...LOL! Or, I didn't have the money in the budget to purchase at the time.
Of course, I still would love to own my own "Nester" tassle. Now, I'll be able to make a few to match my home.
Blessings to you tenfold!!!
I recently made a tassel. It looks OK. Now maybe I can see what is missing to make it great. Thanks for sharing your know-how.
cannot wait!!!!!!
yay! i can't wait! i hope all goes well. :)
Goody. I wait here with baited (bated? whatever) breath.
I've made a couple of tassels a la Nester without benefit of a tutorial. I look forward to making one with the benefit of your instructions. So do it. Pretty, pretty please.
I'm excited! I'm sure the writing part must be insane particularly with the photos!
I can't wait...I was soooo hoping you would do this one day!
Donna from Australia
Yay! So exciting! I'd love to see a supply list so I can get ready!
Score! I can't wait!
Can't wait!!!!
WOOOOWHOOOO!
Christmas will have come early, that is if all goes according to plan.
looking forward to it.
your ears must be a ringing! i was just talking about you and tassels with my new precious friend Nancy McGee!! She has opened my new favorite store right here in Summerfield...Total Bliss...I knew I'd seen it somewhere before! Super excited for the tutorial!
Thank you so much! I have been wanting to learn how to make them!!! Yours are so pretty!~
Oh goody, goody, goody!!! I cannot wait!
Seriously so excited! Can you tell us where you get good toppers? Like those sweet little birds?
Yeah!!! But what if we can't pretend the post never happened.
I'm so excited........ I'll be watching for it!
Well, look at you go...giving away all your tassel talent and secrets in an eBook! I'm so proud of you for not hoarding your ridiculously talented self for, well yourself. (p.s. I will probably never make a tassel, but I will love knowing how and will continue to have you make them for me!)
Just discovered your blog via Kathy at Creative Expresions. Can't wait to see more!
Nester - I miss your tassels on Etsy. Are you going to re-open any time soon? I realize that I will soon be privy to your tassel making secrets, but it just won't be the same...Nester tassels rock!
SheilaP
I was going to give making some tassels a try... but now, I think I will wait and receive proper instructions! :)
Can't wait... thank you Nester!
Nester! I totally thought of you when I saw these BARN STAR ornaments(see link below) in my newest oriental trading magazine...
http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/search/processRequest.do?Ntt=barn+star+ornaments&requestURI=searchMain&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&N=0
Happy happy! Joy joy! I just bought some tassels at JoAnn's that I found in their discount bin!
OMG I WuW YOU FOREVER! LOL
I'm dying to get some tassels! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :)
Ohhh, can't wait for this one...and on my birthday too, you shouldn't have!
Your tassels are so beautiful. So now we'll be able to make these? Wow!
Can't wait!!
I told my husband this past Saturday that I wanted to make tassels and he looked at me in confusion. I cannot wait for the ebook!
Looking very much to your Tassel E Book - this will be fun. There is something so charming about tassels. I certainly could have then hanging here and there all over the house!
How wonderful - a tutorial! My first tassel was just ok. Hopefully, they will look better with your tutorial.
Can't wait....
I wish you the very best!
