In Chinese culture, these red packets or red enelopes (we called it ang pao or hongbao) are given with money during Lunar New Year and also during special occasions like birthday and wedding. We used these red packets to make lanterns and decorative items to light up the atmosphere during the Lunar New Year celebration. I can't tell if it will look nice on other types of paper :-(
