Prepare the stick

Take a piece of the brown corrugated sheet and roll it tightly and evenly to form a stick shape. Apply Fevicol MR along the edge and press it down firmly to secure it in place.

Wrap with Fabric

Cover the outside of the corrugated stick with a layer of Fevicol MR. Then, take the tie-dye cloth and carefully wrap it around the stick, ensuring the fabric is smooth and evenly covers the entire surface from top to bottom.

Add the Tassel

Apply a good amount of glue to the base of a colourful tassel and firmly stick it onto one end of the dandiya stick.

Let it Dry

Set the stick aside and allow the glue to dry completely so that the cloth and tassel are securely attached.

Final Look

Repeat all the steps to create a second matching dandiya stick. Once both sticks are completely dry, your pair is ready for dancing!
