Paper Rosette for Chinese New Year Decor



Text and Image by POPPY




Chinese New Year 
is such an important festival for chinese in Malaysia.
It will be a time for reunion dinner, 
house visiting, CNY movie marathon,
Angpao collecting/givings and of course CNY decoration.

We can easily get CNY decor such as Lanton and red packets in a local shop or supermarket.
But if you would like to have something different, 
you probably can try this colour paper rosette.



I forgot to take some photos while I was making them. 
So here are a few pictures I took while I was making a paper rosette with the magazine pages.


Step 1: Choose a paper based on the colour and the size you want


Step 2: Fold it back to back 

 Step 3: Fold the paper into half, so that it looks like a fan

Step 4: Repeat the process to make another 2 fans

 Step 5: Glue or tape the borders to join all fans together.


Ta-da, here are the matching colours of paper rosettes!
