Tassels in Hebrew are called [Brown-Driver-Briggs] 06734 kanaph kaw-nahf’, which translates into English as “wing” or “corner.” When scripture speaks of tassels being sewn onto garments such as those worn by High Priests or Israel men wearing cloaks over trousers, it seems odd that wings could fit anywhere within these garments.
Scripture indicates that these tassels, known as “tzitzit,” should be sewn onto four corners of clothing in accordance with Ashkenazic tradition – for instance, by having different wraps on its threads that make up its “tzitzit.” When added together, they spell out 613.
This method can also be seen with graduation caps and ceremonial uniforms, where tassels serve to both identify graduates as they walk past others and signify membership in specific classes within a larger graduating body. Similar tassels adorn honor cords used at graduation ceremonies; their use represents membership in honor societies or academic fields such as economics. They may even come in colored varieties that further differentiate graduating classes; some graduates choose to wear these around their necks as further differentiation from one another.

The tassel has long been seen as an iconic symbol of learning that dates back to the 14th century. Originally used to differentiate the ranks of military and religious personnel in ceremonies, modern-day usage often occurs at graduations or other academic events where it serves to distinguish each class further. Today, it remains common at graduations and other educational events with colored graduation cords featuring colorful tassels usually matching that school or university; some even feature extra decorations like beads or sequins.
To create a tassel shirt, start by cutting off and folding in half the bottom of your shirt before using fabric scissors to cut a small slit along each fold. Tie each strip individually into knots, crisscrossing them around your shirt until complete – once this step has been accomplished, trim away any excess fabric at either end of each strip and trim off extra material at its ends.
After you are finished, your tassel shirt should have an even length. After trimming or leaving it as-is, cut the bottom length as desired to create a shorter shirt length or go it as long as desired. Your finished product should then be ready to wear! It’s also a fun activity for kids as it helps develop fine motor skills while practicing math by counting each piece of fringe!
