History and use

In the Hebrew Bible, the Lord spoke to Moses who ordered him to tell the Israelites to make tufts (Hebrews tzitzit) in the corners of their clothing, to help them remember all the commandments of the Lord and to guard them (Numbers 15:37 -40) and as a sign of holiness. The Hebrew religious tassels, however, have little resemblance to the decorative ones that eventually became popular in Europe, especially the French.

In the West, tassels are originally a series of threads or ropes around the string suspending until the desired curvature is reached. Then, the changing wood mold, which is covered with a simple wrap or a more elaborate cover called satinings , is used. This involves the intricate binding of the silk filament tape vertically around the mold by using an internal "binder" on the molding hole.

The construction is varied and coupled with extensive ornamentation each of which is given an idiosyncratic term by their French creator. In the sixteenth century France these people were referred to as "steering," and a seven-year apprenticeship was asked to become masters of one of the union's subdivisions. France is extensively exporting their artistic work, and at such low prices no other European nation is developing a mature "decoration" industry. Many of the successors, however, were among the Protestant Hugenots who fled France in the 1600s to avoid persecution, taking their tools and skills with them. Tassels and related shapes change the style throughout the year, from small and casual Renaissance designs (see examples), through the medium

the size and design is quieter from the Imperial period to the Victorian Era with the largest and most elaborate decorative decoration. Some of these designs are coming back today from European and American craftsmen, who may charge a thousand dollars for a single handmade tassel. The majority of the world's tassel production, however, takes place in China that mass-produce and export it globally.

Tassels (also called tassels ) traditionally worn by Oxford and Cambridge University students on their hats, those who wear gold tassels are those who have paid for the status of the common man, thus receiving increased social prestige and more. luxurious accommodation from ordinary masses wearing plain black tassels on their hats. Today, only the Oxford Chancellor wore gold tassels.

In the Middle East, tassels are charged as a talisman, especially on the head cover. In Egypt, Mesopotamia, and throughout the Arab world the tassels are worn by children with veils or hats to protect them from evil spirits and expel demons.

Dress ceremony

In the US, tassels, or liripipes, are also found on mortar boards during university graduation ceremonies and may be above the graduates' shoes at the ceremony. Toward the end of the graduation ceremony, the fringe that hangs from the graduated skateboard is moved from right to left. Typically, all of the graduating classes do this simultaneously.

Creation

Basic tassel locks are made by tying or collecting yarn from a cable cord at one end, where the tassel is hung. It may have loose threads and hang on the other end. Tassels are usually a decorative element, and are therefore often found they are attached, usually along the bottom edge, to clothing, curtains, pasties that cover the nipples of burlesque players, or other embellishments.

Rumbai is basically an ornament, and at first the termination of the rope is relaxed to prevent unraveling with the knot. Over time, various people developed variations on this subject, until in the 16th century in France, the first Guild of Passementiers was created and documented the art of passementerie. Rumbai is the main expression, but it also includes fring (applied, as opposed to integral), ornamental straps, gallons, pompons, rosettes, and gimps as other forms. Tassels, pompons and roses are ornaments dots ; the other is linear ornament.
