I had previously posted a tutorial on making Chinese New Year (aka CNY) lantern as CNY is coming in a few weeks time! So, here goes my second DIY Chinese New Year Lantern:
What you need is: 9 pieces of red packets (or what we Chinese called 'Ang Pows'), stapler, scissors, cellophane tape and a piece of string.
The results? TADAAAAAAA!!!
Hope you enjoy my simple tutorial!
