Making Tassles and Pompoms

One of the distinctive features of Muslim culture is the art of decoration, which can be seen in various forms of modern life. Decoration is not only a way of beautifying objects, but also a way of expressing identity, creativity, and spirituality.

In this workshop, children will have the opportunity to learn about the decorative arts of the Muslim world and make their own decorations using simple materials. They will learn how to make tassels and pompoms, which are colourful and fluffy ornaments that can be attached to different items.

Tassels and pompoms are widely used in Muslim culture to decorate textiles and clothing. They can be seen on bridal wear, carpets, and even camels. They add a touch of elegance, joy, and festivity to the objects they adorn.

This workshop can be a fun and creative way to learn about the Design and Technology curriculum at school. Children will develop their skills in making, designing, and evaluating products. They will also gain an appreciation of the diversity and richness of Muslim culture and its contribution to the world of art and
design.
