http://www.eliyah.com/maketassels.html How to Make Tassels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making tassels (tsit tsiyot) is actually pretty easy. With a little practice,
you can make a full set in 20-30 minutes. Click one of the links below to
download a video of one tassel being made very slowly. Once you see how they
are made, it is pretty easy to copy and do it yourself.
For clarification, we've included instructions to accompany the video.

String material for making tassels can be found at most any department store.
The thickness of your string is a personal preference. Take 1 blue string 48"
long, and 3 white strings 36" long. Combine the four strings together and make
sure they're lined up evenly one only one side. The blue string will hang lower
than the rest.
Using some kind of hook type surface such as a coat hanger, fold them in half
around the hook so that the white strings all match up evenly. Again, the blue
string will be longer than the rest.
Yod
a.. Tie the strings together just like the first step in tying your shoes,
but don't tighten the strings around the hook. You'll want to leave a loop for
tying the tassel to a garment.
b.. Tie the strings together again just like the first step in tying your
shoes but tighten it this time up against the first one to create a knot.
c.. Separate the longer blue string from the others and wrap it around the
now 6 white strings a total of 10 times. Yod is the 10th letter in the Hebrew
alphabet.
Heh
a.. Split the strings into a pair of three whites, adding the blue string to
the side without a blue string.
b.. Tie the strings together just like the first step in tying your shoes and
tighten it against the 10 wraps of blue strings.
c.. Tie the strings together again and tighten it against the the first one
to create a knot.
d.. Separate the long blue string from the others and wrap it around the 6
white strings a total of 5 times. Heh is the 5th letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
Waw
a.. Split the strings into a pair of three whites, adding the blue string to
the side without a blue string.
b.. Tie the strings together and tighten it against the 5 wraps of blue
strings.
c.. Tie the strings together again and tighten it against the the first one
to create a knot.
d.. Separate the long blue string from the others and wrap it around the 6
white strings a total of 6 times. Heh is the 6th letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
Heh
a.. Split the strings into a pair of three whites, adding the blue string to
the side without a blue string.
b.. Tie the strings together and tighten it against the 6 wraps of blue
strings.
c.. Tie the strings together again and tighten it against the the first one
to create a knot.
d.. Separate the long blue string from the others and wrap it around the 6
white strings a total of 5 times. Again, Heh is the 5th letter in the Hebrew
alphabet. The tassel now numerically spells out (Yahweh).
Complete
a.. Split the strings into a pair of three whites, adding the blue string to
the side without a blue string.
b.. Tie the strings together and tighten it against the 5 wraps of blue
strings.
c.. Tie the strings together again and tighten it against the the first one
to create a knot.
d.. Do all four tassels the same way, and then line them up, putting the
loops through your finger, and then cut them to the desired length. After
cutting, you may choose put small knots at the end of each string to keep the
strings from being frayed at the ends. This is more important with looser,
yarn-like string material.
If you want to store them, we suggest putting one of the strings left over from
the cutting through the loops and tying it in a bow at the top. This will help
to keep them from getting tangled.
If for some reason you are unable to make them, click here to request a free
set.
**** ATTENTION ATTENTION *****
Since we began offering free sets of tassels we have been inundated with
hundreds of requests for tassels (resulting in hundreds of hours worth of work
to be done!). If you want to fulfill an important role in the body of Messiah,
we need volunteers who are willing to send us sets of tassels. We are far
behind what we are able to make and send out. This is an important need, for it
is helping brothers and sisters keep Yahweh's commandments. If you are wanting
to help, please send your tassel sets to:

May Yahweh be magnified as we all work together to help one another walk in His
will for our lives.

Shalom to all my Brothers and Sisters! My husband and I are so grateful and
thankful to Yahweh that on the 10th a brother and his wife drove 21/2 hours to
come and Baptize us in the Fathers True name and The Son's true name, now that
we have come to the truth and repented...learned to keep the Torah, the food
laws and the Sabbaths...Yahweh is so wonderful...now we can keep our first
Passover this means so much to us.
We have been preparing for the past week, removing leaven from our
homes...examining our lives. My husband went in the woods to find a staff and
he wood burned Yahweh's name and the Tetragramaton of the Fathers name and the
Son's name in Paleo Hebrew etc....
Just in all the preparations for the Passover and The Feast of Unleavened bread
I am learning so much....I thought I would share with all of you:) near the end
of this past week I began "deep cleaning the home" vacuuming and washing down
things...getting rid of foods that contained leaven etc...then I emptied the
vacuum and washed the inner fabric bag, and had all the trash go to the
dump...and I thought I was pretty much ready...well today I noticed I missed
some cobwebs, a dead bug or two in the window sills, dust and crumbs...and that
even though I vacuumed the couch I forgot to get under it...so I will be doing
an even "deeper cleaning" today!
This is what I was thinking when I noticed all these things...just when we
think we are doing well or ready...we find there is always room for improvement
and it can always be a little cleaner...our lives as well. We always have more
to over come, and more things that need to go...
The dead bugs in the window sill remind me of sin we may have repented of but
the "physical presence" is still in our lives/homes such as music we would no
longer listen to, but the cd's are still on the shelf, or movies we would no
longer watch...but the videos are still on a shelf...just like the bug, it's
dead but still in the window sill (yuck)!
The cobwebs I missed are a reminder of the sin we thought we got rid of-but
it's shadow is still lurking...a little we can't see, until the light gets
brighter...the crumbs we missed remind me that no matter how hard I try, I will
always need my Messiah's help to over come until he returns! I think the crumbs
keep us humble?
No matter how hard we work to clean up our homes/lives...we will always have
room for improvements...so we must continue to strive for the Kingdom....
This is Yahweh's New Year, and I'm so thankful to be starting it, Baptized with
my husband in the true Faith, walking a whole new life, and preparing for our
very first Passover and Unleavened bread! HALLELUYAH!
I've also learned the more "stuff" you have the more places there are for bugs,
crumbs, cobwebs and dust to hide....
Just as the more complex our lives are...cable (we got rid of that about 6
years ago)radio,internet...the more opportunities sin has to enter our lives.
We need to be vigilant and on guard with our every day lives....
Simplicity with food as well, the more the food is processed, the more likely
it will contain hidden toxins, chemicals additives (even un-clean things)...
So a simple diet, a simple life, free from worldly "stuff" will make our walk
with our Messiah Yahushua a little more simple...it will never be easy...but we
can make it a whole lot easier....with Yahweh's help and guidance.
I also want to thank ELIYAH for taking the time to make a special presentation
for all of us "New Brethren" so we can keep the Passover...May Yahweh Baruk you
abundantly for the love you shower upon all of us...each Shabbat and every
day...thank you from our heart....
May Yahweh be with all of His children as we "Keep His Passover" and partake of
His Son....
Yahweh has given us so much...
I cannot find words that fully express the joy that is in my heart towards
Yahweh....I am deeply humbled and in awe that he has revealed to us...His
precious Name, that He gave us His Only Begotten Son Yahushua...and has
revealed his Sabbaths to us....May we all take time today...to reflect upon His
greatness, His love, and I wonder if we ever realize the Sufferings Yahweh must
endure...when he sees sin abound...love growing cold....and I read today how he
takes no pleasure in destroying the wicked....how His heart must ache.....
We as His children can bring Him joy by walking in all His ways.....just my
thoughts any way....
I love you all...Shalom:)<<tassel.gif>>
