Tassel bookmark video tutorial and printable tags

This post includes affiliate links.

I have been see these tassel bookmarks all over my FYP and that thought they would be perfect for using all of my scrap yarn. There are tons of tutorials and examples showing folks using strands of yarn but I had not seen any examples using crochet chains. I thought the chains would add a nice texture to the tassels. These tassel bookmarks are so versatile and you can use pretty much yarn, trim, ribbon, or string you have on hand. My video tutorial goes through how to make both the book tassel and paperclip tassel bookmark. Best of all, I designed some FREE printable templates to make gifting and market prep a breeze :D.

Here is my version of the tassel bookmarks along with the free printable tags (click on buttons below):

NOTE: The Printable Bible Tassel tags include 8 different scriptures pertaining to the word of God; The scriptures are in NKJV.
