Paper cut outs

Historically, paper cut outs are a huge part of Chinese New Year celebrations. In addition, they are a way to welcome the spring season. Our hosts will be using red paper for this event. However, at home feel free to use whichever color you like! 

Red envelope folding

Another fun arts and crafts activity that will be showcased during the livestream will be a tutorial on how to create your own red envelopes.
