Thread: homemade nipple tassels/pasties?!

hi there,

im new to the scene and im looking for some advice on making my own nipple tassels/pasties. Im a fashion design student and ive been working on my own lingerie line, and i think that some nipple tassels would really complement my collection.

trouble is, ive no idea where to start, ive tried my own way with no luck, and every guide ive found on the net look really naff and use that 'pacman' shaped template and you end up seeing the line on the outside of the pastie, or is this the only way to get that shape?! argghhh! help!!!

anyway some feedback from you lovely girlies would be great! x

If you want them to be conical, then yes, that's pretty much the only way. You can make flat pasties which wouldn't have the seam, but they're difficult to place on the curved surface of your boob without them buckling at the edges and looking unsightly. The seam can be covered if you use trimmings like sequins, ribbons or rhinestones - just be creative. And if you're careful with your sewing you can join the edges rather than overlap, which makes the seam less obvious

Take advice from Fleur... her pasties always look gorgeous.

Most of my pasties that I perform in come from the awesome Adora Belle, so I can't claim credit for many of them. But I am starting to make my own using an unorthodox method - but hey, it works for me!
