Make Your Own Beaded Saree Kuchus

Follow the instructions below to make your own beautiful beaded saree kuchus.

Ingredients

Beads
Needle
Silk Thread

Instructions

The first step is to decide on the length you desire for your tassel. You need to take double the length of thread and an additional plus 1 inch. Cut about 5 pieces of that measured length from the thread.
Tie one end on each of the sewing threads. Next, string a big bead followed by some smaller beads in a sequence and then put a bigger bead in the end and tie a knot. You can make different bead arrangements as per your choice.
Fold your strings by half and then insert a piece of thread into that fold. Lastly, tie the whole bungle together. Fix all the knots, if any, in the silk thread with a clear nail polish and trim it up when dry.
Lastly, you need to finish off with a beaded cap. You can simply add a big bead through a hanging thread on the top.
Your tassels are ready to be sewn at the end of your saree pallu border.

Make Your Own Thread Saree Kuchu

This idea is pretty simple to make. Follow the instructions below.

What you need

Embroidery thread in the colours you want the kuchus in
A piece of cardboard
Scissor
Needle

Instructions

You need to first decide on the length of the kuchu you want to make. Cut a piece of cardboard which is just 1/2 inch longer than your tassel length. You can also use your finger if you do not want to use a cardboard. You can also use a fork instead.
Make a bundle of threads which are 18 inches in length. You can always trim the length later. It is better to start with longer length than to get stuck with shorter length.
Next you need to wrap the thread around the cardboard piece for around 20 times. You can reduce te count if you feel it is getting too thick. You need to keep in mind that the kuchu will be as thick as the thread on both the side of the cardboard. Also, ensure that you have kept the threads on center of the cardboard and not spreading them out. Do not keep them too tight also as this will lead to bending. If you keep them too loose, the loops of the kuchu will slip out. Ensure that the tension is even. Stop wrapping the thread once you feel you have reached the desired thickness.
The next step is a little tricky. You need to remove the thread wrap from the form. Cut a piece of thread from the loop and thread it through a needle. Slip the needle between the thread loops and the cardboard. Next, tie a knot. Slip the thread wrap from the cardboard without disturbing its form. Once you have removed it from the form, trim away the tails.
Now you need to tie the kuchu at its neck. The neck should be at 1/4 inch from the top. Trim 6 inches of full strand of embroidery thread or you can even take a metal wire to fasten and secure the loops of the kuchu. Wrap the wire over the loops at 1/4 inch down from the newly made knot. You can also use pretty satin ribbons for this purpose. Make a head for the tassel by using beads.
Lastly, cut the tails or ends of the kuchu evenly, giving a neat look. Separate the threads and you can also thread some beads to enhance the look further. Using a silver, gold or any other metallic thread gives a brilliant sparkle to your kuchu. Puff up the yarns to give a fuller look.
