Interested in the Japanese art of temari, but don't know where to start? This DIY kit from Tokyo-based Temaricious will get you started!
This kit includes the following materials
- 4 skeins of 100% naturally-dyed Temaricious embroidery thread
- 1 temari ball (20cm, pre-wrapped and with divisions)
- 1 temari needle
- instructions (English)
Do you find it easier to learn with a video than with paper instructions? Then check out Temaricious's tutorial video for this kit here.
Giving your finished temari ball as a gift? Use the beautifully-designed Temaricious box included with your kit to wrap your gift.
Temaricious suggests a pair of blue and pink peach blossom temari as an excellent gift for newlyweds or as decoration for Hinamatsuri.
Note: Due to the nature of natural dyes, there may be variations in thread color. Do not store in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Store in a dry place. The stuffing for the temari ball is rice husks.
