Make A Red Envelope for Chinese New Year
At Chinese New Year it is traditional for parents and elders to give gifts of
"lucky money" to children and unmarried adults. The money, which can vary
from a small, new coin to a substantial sum, is always presented in a red
envelope. It's easy to make a red envelope - why not have a go with the
children?
