the bottom of the Dagga as in figure. We call it bottom ring.
Make
more lace of chains with light yellow color. First wrap the top of the Dagga
and then pass on that lace through the bottom ring and the edge of the top as
shown in figure.
Lastly
we have to make Gadi for tabla and dagga to balance them.
These rings are made by 3 chain crochet I-cord with two
strings (red and black) simultaneously.
One of 10 cm and other 12 cm. Then the round is made by
joining with tapestry needle.
Here I am giving a photo of real Tabla - Dagga so that you
can have ideas to make more beautiful version of this.
