FAQ
Do I need any crafting experience?
Not at all! Our kits are designed with beginners in mind. Even if you’ve never tried crafting—or heard of Ronghua before—you’ll be guided every step of the way. We recommend starting with our Pre-made Petals Kits or Level 1 Kits, which are perfect for first-timers. Just follow the video tutorial, and you’ll be amazed by what you can create with your own two hands.
How long does it take to finish a piece?
That depends on the type of kit you choose:
- Pre-made Petal Kits are quicker—you’ll assemble already-prepared petals, and your piece can be finished in around 2 hours.
- Full DIY Kits let you make everything from scratch, from cutting to shaping. These offer a more immersive experience and usually take 6 to 25 hours, depending on the complexity of the design.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing afternoon or a slow, rewarding project, there’s a kit for your pace.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide with tracking. You can find more details here.
Where can I find the tutorials after purchasing the kit?
All tutorials are available on our Tutorial Page. You’ll find both step-by-step written guides and video tutorials to follow at your own pace.
Is this suitable for kids?
We recommend for ages 13+, as scissors and fine tools are used.

Everything needed to get started, and video support to guide a newbie like myself
I’m working on the magnolia kit right now and I am really enjoying it. The pattern and threads are beautiful. It is so delicate and ‘special’. It is a wonderful way to continue learning Chinese embroidery. A lovely kit and a lovely company to deal with. Thank you.
Im really enjoying learning Ronghua using my kits and tools from Lansei China. I bought a full tool kit including the board as I'm new to the craft, plus several kits and spare threads to get started. It all arrived very quickly and was packaged beautifully even with my name on the box. It looked like a lot of care and attention had gone into it which it made it all the more enjoyable opening everything up and getting started.
I've made 2 of my kits so far and find it such a relaxing craft. The tools are high quality which make it all so easy too.
My gorgeous corn brooch arrived before Xmas
I thought about gifting it to someone
But decided to keep it in a dust free display box
I can look at it everyday
I am very satisfied with the package I received. The materials are beautiful, the tools are practical (and not all of them can be found in France) and everything is well presented. As the step-by-step tutorial is available on the site and the videos on YouTube, we are well accompanied. And, which doesn’t spoil anything, I received my order in 8 days.
These were a Xmas gift and they are truly high quality craftsmanship. The pin is so beautiful on and get compliments on it
I love these! I purchased several sets in one package and they all came beautifully packaged and organized!

I love the Lansei kits. The silks are beautiful and the video instructions make crafting easy. Love it.
This kit was the second one I made, and I absolutely love how it turned out! The video is so relaxing to watch on repeat that I didn't mind at all listening to it as I worked (as I'm a bit slow moving), and I love the artistry! So easy and I felt very comfortable working with it. I highly recommend these premade petal kits to try this craft! (The photos Are not great because I couldn't take pictures of the back of my head very well)
If you want to dip your toe into this hobby, this is a great kit to start with! I love the premade petals (making the silk strips is the hardest part for me) and all the parts being ready to assemble really helped because I felt like I could jump right in with just a few more supplies, a lot of which I already had around my house! Between the video and the kit, I felt very confident in learning this beautiful craft.
(I do recommend buying the toolkit, it's a great value for getting all those finicky things in one go!)
I am so amazed with how fun this was and how lovely the result turned out. The kit contained everything you need with enough extra to mess up or to even make a second flower. The video and instructions on the website were more than enough to finish this without a problem.
Lansei China kits are thoughtfully constructed with everything you need to make the craft, including enough materials to be forgiving if you make a mistake. I started with the bamboo bonsai, and it was excellent starter kit for a beginner like me. I've also had a superb experience with their customer service when I had a shipping issue with one of my orders. I've become a proud repeat customer and I love this craft!
I love this amazing art form. I’ve wanted to learn how to create these incredible flowers. The kits are beautiful, very organized. You get everything you need for your flowers. There’s definitely a learning curve, it takes time and patience. Over time I think my flowers will be better and better. Although I loved my anthurium! It was a great first try!!
I treated myself to this treasure chest, full of exquisite materials and great tools. And so beautifully packaged, it was a joy to unbox. I'm looking very much forward to start exploring this lovely craft, and now I've got everything I need. Can't wait!
