Stitch your way to good luck and safeguard your space with this captivating Chinese cultural embroidery kit.

Unzip Protection: Unique Features of Your Gourd Embroidery Kit

Every detail of this traditional Chinese craft kit is designed for beauty, functionality, and symbolic power.

• Seal the Five Poisons, Embrace Auspiciousness: Create charming, miniature Five Poisons dolls (scorpion, gecko, toad, snake, centipede) and symbolically seal them within your gourd bag. This ancient practice is believed to subdue negative energies and welcome positive blessings, transforming potential threats into powerful protectors.

• Functional & Fashionable Gourd Pouch: The top of your gourd-shaped bag features a convenient zipper closure. Unzip it to reveal a small, hidden pouch – perfect for storing coins, tiny keepsakes, or other essentials. It's a lucky charm that's also practical!

These designs are beautifully edged with shimmering gold thread, adding a touch of elegance and highlighting the inscription: “Inviting Auspiciousness and Welcoming Blessings.”

• Symbolic Red Cord & Chinese Knot: A vibrant red cord and a beautifully crafted Chinese knot are tied around the gourd's waist, further enhancing its auspicious symbolism and making it ready for display.
