[layaili]

Loving it as this has recalled many joyful memories of Chinese new year when I was young. Will try making it with my girls this year . Gong xi fa chai .

[Jadetemple5]

[iampeeay01]

Thanks for the video... i'll make many of this for christmas. :)

[ccanime36]

what kind of paper is that? and is it possible to use normal copy paper?

[newhollandtours]

@ccanime36 it's red packet paper (used during chinese new year). I don't see a problem if you were to use normal copy paper... should work just as well :)

[klaritydawn]

Very Cool!! I wish he had a better stapler too though because he really looked like he was having to put an awful lot of effort into it. Beautiful work. Thanks For sharing!!!

that vidio didn't really elp me much. Anyone got any more help?

[gabisdrake]

i wish the video was longer with a finished product/design bcoz i can't make my own design. T.T nid help..

[nhitrinh09]

You know what I really like? How there's music in the background. xD

[alooghee]

whats weird is that i know that song O.O how do i know that song!!!!?

[torula]

Wow his watch looks tight

[TheFunSpirit]

this remainds me a kusudama...xD ty for the video :) i just love it *-*

[wishlantern]

You could just buy Wish Lanterns from their website

[l0stedminds]

about how much of the red nvelopes do i ned?

[newhollandtours]

Depends on what type of variations you make to the basic pattern, but as a general guide, I think you need at least around 25 - 35 packets... more if your designs are more complicated and your lantern bigger...

[l0stedminds]

i found out that you do not fold the four corners together. You have to fold its so all corners are touching so there wont be holes. I finished mine yesterday thanks for the help =D

[newhollandtours]

It's not meant to be lit... you're supposed to just hang it as a decoration...

[bourquechris]

@newhollandtours The word "lantern" suggests some light source....where's the light??

[newhollandtours]

You should be able to purchase the paper easily in Chinatowns around the world. Or get some Chinese friends to send you the empty red packets... we have lots of these during Chinese New Year!

[ShinyRadish]

beautiful!

[dontsmashthatbug]

Somebody please get this poor guy a good stapler. Its like stapler stuttering...Beautiful idea though.
