Present Drawstring - Spring Festival Fuwa

The drawstring pouch is divided into the boy and the girl. Both designs are identical. We will explain it in two parts: the upper part and the lower part. Among these, the upper part mainly includes the head, the upper garment, the arms, and the facial features. The lower part mainly includes the body and decorations. The two designs differ only in the facial features, the rest of the parts are the same. First, complete the upper and lower parts separately, then use a drawstring to connect them.

The handcrafted measurements may have an error of 1 to 2 cm. Due to variations in individual tension, the size of the sample is for reference only.
