Korean ‘Gwijumeoni’ Pouch Craft Kit – Traditional Knot-Decorated Lucky Bag DIY Set with English Guide and Step-by-Step Video Tutorial

Product Information

About this item

• Make a lucky pouch decorated with a traditional knot. In the past, Koreans used small, beautifully ornamented pouches called “jumeoni” to carry small items. Since hanbok, or traditional Korean clothing, didn’t have any pockets, both men and women and young and old alike used to tie a pouch around their waists or carry one in their hands. It was also believed that wearing a pouch warded off bad luck and attracted good fortune, so they were given as gifts to relatives and young children in the family during the New Year.
• The kit comes with everything you need to make a pouch. It includes all the materials you need. It comes with silk fabric that has been cut according to the ideal size of a pouch, with holes for the string, plus a string that is long enough for the pouch, so you don't need to purchase any other supplies.
• It is perfect for teaching and engaging in activities to experience traditional Korean culture in the classroom, at cultural events, or at home. The guidebook provides detailed instructions on how to tie a knot in the traditional Korean way (e.g., Saengjjok tie and Dorae tie), and anyone can follow along easily.
• Wear the pouch like a cross-body bag for a unique look. The gorgeous light blue silk fabric has a subtle sheen to it, and it will add an air of elegance to any outfit. The thick pink string tied in the traditional Korean knot style will add a pop of color. The string can be adjusted according to height or preference.
