Kazakh felt embroidery and cloth embroidery have a long history. They are inseparable from Kazakh people's daily life. Most of them are embroidered by housewives themselves. They are very familiar household goods and can also be used as gifts between relatives and friends. Kazakh felt embroidery and cloth embroidery are embroidered on felt and cloth respectively.
