This year, unlike the previous hong paos that I made HERE, I decided to stick to just one design layout with the word "fu" in different places. Saves time!
I have a "fu" 福 punch bought a few years back and decided to use it. Punched the word out on the actual paper. Then cover the "hole" with a piece of pink paper from the inside. then punch the same "fu" on a dark gold paper and paste over the actual word on the pattern paper...(get the drift? haha)
Ok...here's the closeup
This particular packet was done with DCWV glitter paper that my sister Sally gave me (see earlier POST).
The only problem I have with glitter paper is sticking them together! Even double sided tape doesn't hold very well on the glittery part!

SO PRETTY!!! The prettiest ang pows I've seen in my life seriously. Are you selling them? You should you know? I'm sure pple will buy if you place them at shops like Anthropology, those arty farty designer shops. Wow! Impressed.
Thanks May! I only do it for my immediate family members and very close friends. I don't think people will buy expensive handmade hong pows. But thanks for the compliments! LOL
