Grasshopper using ketupat leaf


I've taken 2 coconut leaves from my mother-in-law where she uses them for making ketupat. I made grasshopper using the leaves. Looks very real right? When i was young, i found this dried-up coconut leaves grasshopper in between of my sister's book. She said her friend made for her. I liked it so much that i dismantled the grasshopper carefully and tried to put it back. And somemore i mastered making grasshopper using coconut leaves after few attempts. Always like to make this and give to people because this is very 'kampong' thing that brings back nostalgic feeling. And it never fails to amaze and cheer people up (of all ages, from young to old).
