\n<\/a>The Lunar\u00a0New Year is celebrated very grandly in Singapore and you just fall into the spirit of it whether you celebrate or not.<\/p>\n

Kuttyma wanted to make cards for her friends. A quick count made me realize we need to make 20+ cards. I decided to do different kinds of cards using various mediums to keep her from boredom.<\/p>\n

Here are some simple crafts you can make<\/p>\n

Card 1: Spring Blossoms<\/h3>\n

The Lunar\u00a0New Year heralds in Spring and it is very common to decorate with peach\/cherry blossoms for the season. These pretty pink flowers are my favorite.<\/p>\n

Tissue paper, glue and a crayon was all we needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4622\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Card 2: Mandarin Oranges<\/h3>\n

During the Chinese New Year the Mandarin Orange takes center stage. People exchange oranges as a sign of luck and prosperity.<\/p>\n

For our oranges cards we used orange paint, dish cleaning plastic sponge (a new one) and markers<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_4642\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Card 3: Chinese Lanterns<\/h3>\n

Paper lanterns scream China don’t they? They are beautiful and seem like balloons floating in the sky. We used circle stickers and got to work.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4620\"<\/p>\n

We used round stickers (these were supposed to be price tags and are a great crafting supply to keep handy) and markers<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4516\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Card 4: Fish<\/h3>\n

Fishes are special to the Chinese. Fishes are believed to bring in prosperity and wealth. Handprint fishes was our idea of messy fun.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4641\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Red paint (red is an auspicious color) and some markers and we were ready to go<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4533\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are our Lunar New Year craft<\/p>\n
