Chinese new year lantern

It's time for me to make some new year lanterns for the upcoming Chinese new year. I have some red packets left from last year so I was making use of them to make the lanterns. I had 48 pieces altogether. Folding them and then stapled the folded sides together.


Done!

So definitely the same place got the priviledge.


On the first day of the new year 2015, I had a beautiful surprise.
