Can I give away Temarii balls at will?

Of course. Temari ball is a Japanese folk handicraft art and a traditional toy in Japan. On New Year's Day and New Year's Day, Japan will give each other Temari balls as a blessing, so they can give them at will.

Temari ball, also known as handball, is a leftover material made of kimono, filled into a ball, and then wound into a geometric figure with colored silk thread. Its shape is almost as big as a melon. It is a toy that girls especially like, and it is also an ornament for praying for the town. Now it is famous for the Temari ball in Zanqi, Japan.

In Japanese New Year, there is a tradition that parents give their children jiaozi. When the mother winds the Temari ball, she will hide a note with blessing information for her children, and the children don't know what the specific blessing is written on the note placed in the ball, so the Temari ball is also regarded as a lucky ball with the blessing of relatives.

When making Temari balls, you should prepare flat balls, embroidery thread, bead needles, needle puller and so on. Insert the bead needle into the flat ball, measure the circumference of the ball with a piece of paper, mark the position divided into 10 parts and the line mark of 1 on the measured paper, and find the axis point of the first bead needle on the flat ball with the marked paper.

Find the 1 of the ball, arrange it at the equator along the found 1 insert 10, and start winding the embroidery thread along the positioned bead needle. Finally, you can wrap it according to the pattern you want to do.
