We have really been getting into the spirit of Chinese New Year this week and decided that today we would make some angpow packets. In Chinese tradition, the red envelopes (sometimes refered to as "lai see") are usually filled with money notes and presented by the older generation to the younger one. They symbolise good luck for the year ahead. Being a part-Chinese family, we follow this tradition and the children will be receiving angpow from us and their grandparents this year.
I designed a template for the packets based on an A4 sheet of red paper. Once I had cut them out and glued the edges, I presented the packets to the boys for decoration. Usually the decoration is in gold and includes Chinese symbols for good luck and happiness. Once they had finished, we added chocolate gold coins.
What we used:
Red A4 paper
Glue
Gold and red glitter glue
Examples of angpow packets and Chinese symbols
(Any red and gold patterned paper would also look good on these packets).
