How To Make Nipple Tassels
Burlesque performer and teacher, Bettsie BonBon, of the London Academy of Burlesque, takes you step-by-step through the process of making your very own nipple tassels.
I'm going to show you how to make nipple tassels. So first off, with nipple tassels, it's really important that you make the base - known as a pastey; these can be worn by themselves, or later on you can add tassles or such. So, to begin with, we measure out two circles, depending on your nipple size, really, to be honest.
A lot of girls use smaller ones, bigger ones. So, we start off with that. Cut them into lovely little circles, as such.
Now, to get them into that cone shape, fold them into this triangle. You're going to cut along one of these seams along here, so just snip along there. Now with this, I will fold it the other way round - this make a great backing, for being able to stick it onto your nipples.
This makes a great backing to be able to stick stuff on. So, we're going to fold it over, just like that, dab a bit of glue, just in there, into the triangle shape. Fold it over, as such, and it'll make this shape.
And once you've done this, you're going to cover it in any kind of material you want. At the moment, I've decided that we're going to do a nice satin kind of effect. As you can see here, that's the base of that cone we've just made.
Just dab some glue, all around there. So, just smooth over the material onto there, as you can see, on both of these, so it make that lovely, smooth, onstage look. I've just finished that off with some lace over the top, so you can use anything you like: rhinestones, glitz, glamour, lace, pearls.
Now, on the inside, I've made another cone and I've stuck that over the top.
This is just aesthetically pleasing. It makes it a bit stronger, as well. You then have got that nice line around there so you can't see any of the fraying of the material.
There are lots of other things that you can do with that; make flowers, such as these ones. Again, if you're wanting a tassel, you can see in there, there's a hole that we've put through. The tassel's put through the hole, sits like that, to make it go round.
And that's my very quick guide to how to make nipple tassels. .
