Siraman Souvenir

Wooo two posts in two days? Grrr there must be something wrong in the universe. The bridezilla is getting over her laziness and going for good!

Sunday afternoon, I and my mother finally decided that it's time to get things done with at least one thing from the list. And what's better than revisitting our cute DIY (do it yourself) rabbit towel. We bought 26 baskets last month, small square towels (pink and white), toothpaste, soap, brush, hair clip, ribbons, more ribbons, and candle sticker. Okay, who says anything about me not having any creative side? (Oh that was me)... well, looks like I could birth it out if I want it.

After some YouTube browsing, we finally found this video, a tutorial on how to make bunny out of towel. Well, it's not exactly a baby shower ritual which me and SG will have. Siraman is the ceremony of bathing the bride and the groom prior to the wedding. This bathing ceremony is symbolizing the bride and the groom would be purely clean themselves physically and mentally prior to the wedding, while at the same time, asking permission and blessing from parents and elderly relatives.

After some tricky hand play, we finally able to made a cute rabbit towel. And everything is rolling from there. First, I said that these rabbits need eyes, and then mom suggested that it would be cuter if we put on some ribbon on its necks. And without realising, finally we finished our creation: 26 cute rabbit towels.

Aren't they CUTE? >_<;;

After putting on hold siraman souvenir project for a month, we decided to finish it today. We decorated the basket with ribbons and rumple satins. Because the base of the basket is too deep, we put in waste paper inside, and covered it with color paper. Every basket costs roughly Rp. 30.000,-. Quite cheap, and we are happy we can save money to buy packed souvenirs, and instead, creating our DIY siraman souvenir. Add some points for our teamwork!
