Ronghua-DIY-Set | Sonnenblumen

Customer service 10/10 really love the kits soo addicting!! They will give you more then enough materials to practice.
I only wish the tutorials would be a little bit more clear. But beside that really love the company❤️

I made up this beautiful kit during Lansei China's visit to London. It is a great kit for beginners as the petals are pre prepared so you just concentrate on the petal trimming, shaping and putting it all together. I can definitely recommend as a starter kit or perhaps a kit to complete more quickly for a special gift.

I have tried lots of different crafts but nothing like ronghua before, I've really enjoyed trying my hand at something new. The video tutorial has been very helpful, and while it's not something I am immediately good at (it will definitely take time to master), but thats part of the joy. The team at Lansei China have been great, they sent my order very fast and kindly refunded a workshop when I was unable to attend, I would definitely recommend this company if you are interested in trying ronghua

I am really enjoying making silk flowers. It is very therapeutic even though some stages are a little fiddly but I’m getting better each time. The end product is so worth it. I will say that having experimented with cheaper silks, it’s worth spending that little bit more as the silks from Lansei are far superior and the end product definitely looks more realistic.

Maravilloso producto, la mejor calidad en todo aspecto, colores hermosos. Muy feliz con mi compra. Gracias por el obsequio!!

My first Rhongua project (irises) but not my last - I ordered three more kits, and have started on my second project - sunflowers.
This is a finicky hobby, even as an experienced fiber artist, there is a learning curve! My second set of irises definitely came out better than the first, although even my first attempt came out beautifully. I really appreciate that enough material is included to make a whole second pair of irises, plus plenty for mistakes/waste.
For the fine detail oriented that appreciate a challenge, you gotta try this!

While the video is great, I wish some written reference was included. The card that came with my later kits is very helpful, especially in combination with the video. More subtitles in the video that identify the details would be helpful too.

The Lansei China team came to London to show off their craft and I decided to give it a go since I had something later to do in London that day. It was a lot of fun to make my Rose Myrtle and I was happy with the result. I can see a lot of potential to make very interesting designs with it. The ones they had on show looked amazing in person. I got the Purple Iris kit to try at home, along with the toolkit and stand. I also got some archival glue and distilled water to use in place of their recommendation of hairspray as I think that will degrade less.

I haven't actually had a chance to try it out yet as I've been quite busy lately, but I would recommend people give one of their easier kits a go to see if you enjoy it. You could get the tools yourself, but getting them in the cute wrapped package is convenient. They also provide PTFE Fibreglass Tape to put on the hair straighteners to prevent scratching from the annealed copper wire, I looked into the tape they provided and both the tape and adhesive should be safe to use with the heat of the iron.

They did also provide a small pan of watercolour paint for use with the Purple Iris. I am a little cautious to use unmarked paint as I do not know if it contains chemicals such as cadmium or if it is sensitizing, so I can't verify if it's safe to wear. I am sure it's not a big deal in reality, I'm just a bit of a safety freak. I'm sure even without the small streaks of paint I will be happy with my creation. After completing this project myself start to finish, my plan would be to start designing my own creations.

The people involved clearly care about what they're doing; Jing and Tang were very nice to meet. I wish them well with promoting their craft.

Ronghua DIY Kit | Red Plum Blossom

I've ordered a couple of kits, Purple Magnolia and Birdie in Spring from Lansei China. I also ordered the essential tool kit, bamboo trimming cup and extra silk. I am very pleased with my purchases. The kits are excellent quality and have plenty supplies to complete the flowers. Kits arrive with clear step-by-step instructions and the website has complete instruction videos for all of the kits.

Twisting the wires is the hardest part of creating the flowers. I purchased some climbers chalk and was able to easily twist the wires.

I truly enjoy creating these beautiful flowers and will purchase additional kits in the future.

I have completed a few kits now and I’m hooked! It’s so therapeutic (if a bit fiddly at times)
