About this Event
This Will Interest You
There are many different traditional customs for dragon boat festival: Eating sticky rice dumplings, participating in or attending Dragon Boat races, drinking realgar wine… and wearing perfume pouches!
Before Dragon Boat Festival arrives, parents usually prepare perfume pouches for their children. They sew little bags with colourful silk cloth, fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines, and then string them shut with silk threads.
During Dragon Boat Festival perfume pouches are hung around people’s wrists, bags, or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. The perfume pouches are said to protect people from evil or bad luck.
We will teach you how to make your own perfume pouches! You can choose different fabrics, perfumes, and make your own unique ornament to wear on Dragon boat festival!
