How to Make a Latkan Tassel for Indian Outfits
Latkans aren’t just functional; they’re a statement jewelry piece for your outfit! While traditional ones can be intricate, a beautiful tassel is a fantastic beginner-friendly project.
You’ll need: Embroidery thread (use multiple colors for depth!), a tassel maker (or a piece of cardboard), scissors, and a decorative bead or clasp.
Crafting Your Tassel:
Wrap: Wind your threads generously around your cardboard or tassel maker. The more you wrap, the fuller your tassel will be.
Tie & Cut: Carefully slide the loops off and tightly tie a separate piece of thread around the top to create the “head.” Cut the loops at the bottom.
Shape & Attach: Trim the bottom to even it out. Wrap more thread a little way down from the head to define the shape. Finally, thread the top loop through a beautiful bead and attach it to a safety pin or a keychain clasp to easily secure it to your dupatta or bag.
