Six steps of making sachets skillfully during the Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival is also called summer festival. When summer comes, mosquitoes breed. Therefore, it is a traditional custom to make sachets of realgar, smoked grass, mugwort and other spices with silk and cloth and wear them to ward off evil spirits. In order to welcome the Dragon Boat Festival, Taipei Botanical Garden-New Generation Future Pavilion also specially exhibited the "Folk Custom and Vanilla" plant exhibition to teach friends of all ages how to make sachets.

Therefore, drinking afternoon water can strengthen the body and drive away all diseases. Taking noon water, adding citronella, wormwood, calamus and other exorcism plants to bathe together can also play an anti-virus fitness effect, and wearing sachets can also achieve the effect. The simple manufacture steps of that pouch are as follow:

Six steps of sachet practice

1. Preparation materials: First, prepare your favorite non-woven sachet and two ropes of moderate length. The rope should be folded in half about twice the width of the mouth of the sachet.

2. Rope threading in the cloth bag: cut small holes with equal distance and length at the opening of the cloth bag, and thread one rope through the hole of the sachet and the other rope in the opposite direction.

3. Beaded beads: Choose two beautiful beads, put two metal wires through the holes of the beads, and tie a knot at the ends of the two ropes to fix them.

4. Appearance modeling: Then cut non-woven fabrics of other colors into various patterns and stick them on the sachet to increase the modeling.

5. Filled with vanilla: Choose some dried grass leaves or any vanilla leaves and put them in a tea bag. Vanilla leaves must be dried to avoid mildew. It is suggested to use star anise, citronella, cassia twig, hibiscus and wormwood.

6. You're done: Tie the ropes at both ends and you'll finish your own Dragon Boat Festival sachet!
