Sorry to hear your country does not have these hongbao packets but you can try using yellow coloured origami paper or even gift wrap. Thank you for watching :-)

Neato! It's like a puzzle! I LOVE how you opened it up & turned it inside out at 4:48. Very pretty end result.

No, fold it at a slant and bring the other to meet symmetrically. Thanks for watching :-)

But i have a question, the fold at 1:43, is there any reference point or i just fold whatever angle i like?

Thanks in advance~
