Visitors can first inform the staff about the type of blue-dyed item they want to make. Depending on the size, production times will vary. After teaching the tying technique, the staff will provide tools such as popsicle sticks, chopsticks, and wooden pieces. With personal creativity, many different patterns can be dyed.

Next, the items are placed in a bubbling deep-blue dye vat and kneaded before being placed in front of a fan to dry. Through repeated actions, the deep blue color is deeply infused into the items. Finally, they are left to dry outside the cottage. The entire process from start to finish takes about two hours.

Even though it takes time and effort, when the finished blue-dyed items are in hand, netizens all smile and say that they rarely get to experience such a unique hands-on activity. Though the process is tough, it's unexpectedly fun, and if given the chance, they’ll definitely bring friends along for more fun.
