Handicrafts related to the Spring Festival

There are many handmade works related to the Spring Festival, such as red paper lantern decorations, origami carp decorations, origami firecrackers decorations, paintings related to the Spring Festival, paper-cutting of the New Year, clay works of the God of Wealth, Chinese knot decorations, origami dragon dances and so on. Most of these works are red, and they all express the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Red lanterns are common handmade products, and the materials used are red cardboard, stapler, scissors and glue. Roll the red card paper into a round paper tube and fix it with a stapler. Cut another rectangle with the same width, but longer. Fold the longer side in half. Cut out tassel-like lace after folding, and cut out the feeling of hollowing out. Then fix the cut rectangular paper tube outside the red paper tube, make a hanging place on it, and finally add some decorations.

These handmade works are inspired by some traditional customs of the Spring Festival, such as sticking New Year's greetings, New Year's Eve dinner, lucky money, wandering around, temple fairs, burning firecrackers and so on, which make the Spring Festival more lively and festive. When the new year comes, firecrackers and fireworks will be set off, and the god of wealth will be invited to hang lanterns. These red elements are very festive and auspicious, and can be applied to handicrafts related to the Spring Festival.
