This month together with all the Christmas festivities my crafting buddy Little M and I have had lots of fun with the Bostik Box that is themed Chinese New year. Last weekend we made a lovely calendar and this week she came to visit and me have made some really petty Chinese New Year Lanterns.
Later on if time permits we are also going to make some fortune cookies and then go out for a Chinese Lunch. Now that Little M knows more about the Chinese culture she is really excited for the lunch.
In the mean time I am sharing a video of how we made the Chinese Lanterns.
To make the Chinese Lanterns you will need:
Equipment Needed:
A4 Red Paper
A4 Gold Paper
Gold pen
Scissors, Pencil, Ruler
Bostik Glue
Bostik Glue Dots
Please watch this video to see how we made them:
This craft is suitable for young children although, adult supervision may be required for using scissors.

These Chinese New Year lanterns are so cute! This would be a great craft project for my son and I to do together. I love that you are following it up with a Chinese lunch with Little M.

How fun! What a great idea. We live across the street from the Lim association and every year they have a dragon show on our street to celebrate the new year.

How lovely, 2 months back, I made it along with my son on the eve of Diwali for decorating our home. Lanterns look great
These lanterns are so creative! My afterschool DIY club would love making these. The detailing on the top looks great.

These lanterns are adorable, so effective and a lovely crafting idea. Something I could easily do with my son, he's suddenly got interested in all things sticking and gluing (much to my horror)!
