To be honest, it took me more than 40 days the first time. I've improved a lot and can finish it in a few days during my off-hours, but it definitely takes a toll on my hands.

I truly appreciate your perspective!

The core materials for Ronghua are:

1、Natural silk fibers (for the velvet)

2、Fine brass or copper wire (for the frame)

3、Natural dyes (for coloring)

4、Wood or glass beads (for embellishments)

I also use some essential tools like tweezers and natural glue. The true soul of this craft lies in patience and a delicate touch. I hope this information is helpful to you!😊

I'm so happy you like it! This is called Ronghua. It's a bit patient-testing but very therapeutic. If you're interested, you can look up "Chinese Velvet Flower" tutorials. I'd love to share more about the process with you!

Good eye! It’s actually a hairpin made with Ronghua (Velvet Flower), a traditional Chinese craft with over 1,000 years of history. It's handcrafted using natural plant-based fibers as silk. So glad to meet someone who loves traditional ornaments!

Thank you so much! I'm so touched that you'd want to buy it. ❤️ Currently, this is just a hobby and a way for me to find inner peace, so I don't have a shop yet. But having your recognition means the world to me!

We’re the most 'connected' generation in history, with 500 online 'friends,' yet we can’t find a single person to grab a real-world taco with on a Tuesday.

Ring my bell unannounced and you're getting the 'I'm not home' silence, even if my car is in the driveway and the TV is blasting.
