Tips

1. You can use various colors of fruit and vegetable powder to replace pigments, and the color can also be adjusted according to your preferences.

3. Before bonding, remember to brush or dip in some water, but not too much.

4. After steaming, do not immediately take out the pot. Wait a few minutes before taking out the pot to avoid shrinking and wrinkling.
