When Kimchi Man is in Korea and we are apart we send each other packages to feel closer. That way we have something to look forward to even though when we are missing each other like crazy.
I usually send him candy and snacks that he can’t find in Korea and he does the same for me. But last time I sent the package, I decided to add something more personal.
What is inside the mysterious box?
I decided to make cute dolls wearing Hanboks (Korean traditional clothes) that looked just like the two of us. I used salt dough which is really easy to prepare. You can do it too – it requires only basic ingredients that everyone has at home. The recipe for the dough is at the end of this post.
Once I made the dolls I put them in the oven and baked them on low heat for a really long time. When they were completly dry and cool I painted them, let the paint dry really well and then coated them with three layers of varnish. It took a while but it is important to do so in order to keep the moisture out. And…. ta da!
Faithful representation of Kimchi Man and Oegukeen wearing hanboks. Haha, not really.
My doll was supposed to be taller than his but her head got a bit squashed while I was making it ^^*
Kimchi Man is one of the rare Korean men who wears his hair really short. It was a challenge to make but I am satisfied with the results.
I think the watch turned out adorable. Kimchi Man never takes his watch off so I had to include it on his doll. I used aluminium foil and for the dial a tiny piece of paper painted blue.
I think Kimchi Man and Oegukeen dolls make a nice addition to site banner. What do you think? :)
Salt dough recipe:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water (it shouldn’t be too cold)
Of course you can make any amount you want, just always keep the 2 : 1 : 1 ratio of flour, salt and water respectively. Mix the salt and flour first, and then gradually add water. And that’s it! Simple, right?

I agreed! So adorable :), Just like me and him sometimes we sent something to each other either sweet, candy and so on.. I once sent him my home made cookies. :D I love to do cards or any arts item, so whenever I’m free I made those and sent to him XD, For his upcoming birthday I already prepared something for him even though I am not good at drawing I try my best! kkkkkkkk ^^~ Unfortunately I couldn’t manage to find something for his birthday, but I hope I am able to find it for him in the future. Whatever it is we also have each other doll, so whenever we miss each other we would cuddle up the doll ^^~~~
That is so sweet. I wish I could send him home made cookies (and he could send me rice cakes) but they would go bad by the time they arrive. Packages take so long.
:) for rice cakes I think not a good choice, cookies?? Why not? Approximately how does it takes for you to sent a package to him??
Usually around 2 weeks. EMS takes around 5 days to a week but it is really expensive.
Ahhhh, yes EMS is quite expensive but I always used it.. ^^~~ Anyway I just get this recipe while browsing, may be you can try this recipe.. This cookies usually will doing ok for a month, just need to wrap it nicely so that it still crispy when he get it :) Why not give a try :)

The price of EMS also depends on the country you live in. The price of EMS in Korea is 40% of what I have to pay in my country.
Thank you for the recipe! It seems delicious and I will certainly try it.
Wow, so cute! I love the details.
Thank you! :)
