So, I've been really looking forward to Chinese New Year since I came back, because it's a time where I meet with all my relatives and eat lots of steamboat and chinese new year goodies. And with all these excitement, I thought I should throw in more effort to decorate the house this year. At the same time, I thought I should regain my crafting hobby and was really excited to start with this idea I found on pinterest.



 I missed out UHU glue and blue tack which I used in the last step. For the white cotton thread, I would not recommend using  sewing threads, for I think those threads are weaker and could snap easily when weaving. For the photo frame, I'm actually using the classic IKEA ones.













And tadah! I didn't upload a pattern for the other orange design, but I thought that one was much more intuitive and didn't require much explaining. Each frame took me less than an hour and I think these are great if you're trying to avoid the conventional tacky chinese new year decorations.
