Object 14: A handicraft

Describe a handicraft that can be found in your country.

You should say:

What the handicraft is

How it is made

What it is used for

Whether it is easy to find.

Do not try to describe the famous Chinese "red knots" - these are very difficult to talk about for 2 minutes. A much easier option is bamboo furniture.
