Chinese New Year Craft - Angpow Rabbits

Here is a Chinese New Year craft that little ones will love. It is easy and the results are beautiful and fun too. Since it is the year of the rabbit, we decided to decorate our house with origami rabbits.

Here are our origami rabbits made from colourful origami paper

Here are our angpow rabbits made from angpow paper. (All we had to do was open up the angpows and cut them into squares before folding the origami rabbits).

Here is a close-up of the inflatable origami angpow rabbit. The kids love to blow and puff up the rabbit!

Finally, here is our loot of homemade angpow lanterns, angpow rabbits and red angpows clipped together in threes to hang on our plants. We also got red ribbons to tie around the pots to make it look more merry.

Last but most importantly, here is an instruction video on how to fold origami rabbits. The steps are very simple. If you follow the video step by step as we did, you will surely get it right the first time. It is really fun to inflate the bunnies.

We are now all ready to usher in the Year of the Rabbit with our homemade Origami Rabbits made from angpow paper.
