Where would burlesque dancers be without pasties??? We wouldn't be! So this blog is about the pretty little sparkling tassel twirling things that cover our beautiful bits. With a few pictures :)
Next, you have to make your card stock with a tassel actually pretty. Cover the card stock in whatever you like, make a design, a picture, use sequins, or rhinestones. Basiclly use your imagination. On my first attempt at a pastie I used sequins.
The hearts are kinda rough looking and I've never used them. I'll try again later. 
These are the second pair of pasties I made. I wanted to have skin colored pasties that only showed sparkle. I hope these looked better from far away!
And last I wanted to show you some very nice pasties that I bought. These are beautiful.
Now you have a pastie, how do you put it on? Several ways. Eye lash guy, wig glue or the way I do it, with carpet tape. Yup, the stuff that sticks the carpet to the floor. I cut a square and stick it on the back of the pastie then stick it to my skin. With useing this method I've never had on come off. 
I think everyone should have a pair and learn how to twirl them. Its so funny and fun, you can help but smile.
To make a pastie you need; a stencil, card stock, glue, scissors, sequins, and tassels.
Stencils can be any shape you want. Circles are the easiest to make for beginners. You can make stars, hearts, large or small shapes, whatever you want. The main thing to remember is the pasties needs to come to a point in the center. So, in the pictures below that is what the line to the center is for, turning the flat paper into a cone. Once you have your pasties cut out, you need to put on your tassel.
Tassels! These can be any length and almost any material. The most common are small ropey kind or they can be beads. I've seen some that are fishing line with fish on the end! When the tassel is a little heavy they twirl better.
