Usually, tiny threads are used to create brightly coloured pictures on cloth. It is a popular extra-curriculular activity in high school for young girls together with cooking and cloth sewing. It was a part of the Vietnamese culture; traditionally, girls are expected to know how to decorate pillowcases, curtains and tableclothes with hand embroidery. Since the 1960's, hand embroidery in Vietnam has been raised to the level of an art. Many large pictures in different sizes, some as large as 2.5x2 yards, have been made. Popular topics include Vietnamese history, landscapes, animals, flowers, and religious scenes.
