I was** interested **in sepak takraw, a traditional Southeast Asian sport that combines elements of volleyball and soccer. I was particularly intrigued by the rattan balls used in the game, which are made by hand and have a unique woven pattern. I decided to try my hand at making my own rattan ball, and this is the result.

The ball is made from a single piece of rattan, which I split into thin strips. I then wove the strips together using a simple overhand stitch. The ball is about 5 inches in diameter and weighs about 2 ounces. It is a bit heavier than a traditional sepak takraw ball, but it is still light enough to be kicked and volleyed.

I am happy with the way the ball turned out. It is not perfect, but it is functional and has a unique look and feel. I think it would make a great addition to any home decor, and it could also be used as a training tool for sepak takraw players.
