How to make zongzi with clay

The steps of making zongzi with clay are as follows:

Material preparation: clay.

1. First, knead the main body of zongzi with white mud, which is roughly triangular in shape, but there should be a little curvature around it, which gives people a rounded feeling at first glance.

2. Wrap a layer of green clay around the main body of jiaozi as the leaves of jiaozi. Be sure to wrap it all in a circle, not both sides.

3. Finally, draw cute facial features and pink blush on the zongzi with pen and pigment, and then tie a red tie to surround the whole, and the nifty and small clay zongzi will be completed.
