Cultural Class: Making Paper Embroidered Ball.
Embroidered ball, a colorful ball made of rolled silk, is a token of love and also a mascot for the Zhuang people, which is the most populous minority group in China. The 3rd day of every lunar March is a traditional festival for the Zhuang. On that day, people hold a folk song contest on the square. If a girl falls in love with a young man, she will throw the ball to him as she is singing a folk song. From then on a romance starts. Now people regard the ball as a token of friendship. In today’s cultural class, we made embroidered ball with paper.
First of all, Icecream introduced the background knowledge of the embroidered ball.
Materials for paper balls making are pretty simple: colorful paper, scissors, glue and compasses.
Firstly, we need to draw and cut 20 circles of paper. See, Susana is having fun with the compasses.
Andrea has her own way of making circles.
Both Andrea and Jenny are concentrated in cutting the circles.
