What to do with all the Hong Bao Red Packets? Make Chinese Lanterns!

Every year, we have tonnes of unused red packets leftover after Chinese New Year. This year, we decided to put them to good use.  These lanterns look pretty authentic!


Here are some simple lanterns that we made:




Simple Round Lantern
This one needs just 5 identical red packets, a stapler, and string. We finished it in one sitting!

Large double layered lantern
This more ornate lantern needs about 30 identical red packets, cardboard, tape, string, beads, and more patience, but it's worth the trouble!

Happy Lantern making!
