Traditionally, Kuchi and other nomadic peoples use tassels in their homes, on their clothing / accessories and on their animals. Tassels are used to distract the evil eye and keep spirits from focusing on the person or animal wearing them or to keep the home safe. Tassels can add a lot of color to your belly dance costuming or accessories. Be aware however that glass beading on tassels can add weight. Help to keep those evil spirits at bay in such a beautiful way!
