We are going to make a Chinese New Year Angpow Flower Lantern today.
TUTORIAL VIDEO
Angpow flower lantern
We’ll need 60 pieces of square angpows. It is getting rather difficult to get square red packets these days as the ones I got are mostly rectangular ones and these are my final 60 square ones :(
Fold half and fold the flip down. Staple. Repeat this steps for the entire 60 angpows.
Separate them into 5s and staple together forming 12 little flowers.
Separate them into 2 groups – 6 little flowers in each.
Staple 2 petals together.
Staple the third petal (from the third flower) to the first two petals and repeat with the remaining 3 flowers. As long as you are stapling 3 petals together, you can’t go wrong.
You’ll get 2 sets of 6 little flowers as shown above. Staple those two together and your Angpow Flower Lantern is done!
You may also add tail to your Angpow Flower Lantern.

Home is where MY heart is.
I am a mother to two boys; Ethan and Ayden and a wife to Darling William. I'm a stay at home mum who blogs to break the monotony of life and to avoid feeling jaded. Would love to get to know all the Super Mommies and Daddies and Babies or Singles out there with the hope that we can learn more from each other. Most of all, I am a happy person, and I hope YOU are too.
