DIY STEPS

1.Draw a slot for the ang baos in the middle of your cardboard box’s top side. Make it about 10 to 14 cm long, and at least 2 mm wide. Cut out the slot using a metal ruler and a penknife.

2.Cut your coloured crepe paper into 1-inch wide strips, then cut fringe along one edge.

Tip! Crepe paper usually comes folded into its packet. Just cut off 1 inch from the roll for a really long strip. Fold that strip into a manageable thickness and cut the fringe in layers.

3.Assemble the ang bao box, and glue on your confetti fringe, slightly overlapping the layers and alternating colours.

4.Cut out your coloured paper to fit the top of the ang bao box, and use your penknife to cut out a matching slot in the middle.

5.Glue on the paper to the top of the box.

You’re done! Your DIY ang bao box is confetti-fringed up and ready to be filled with the blessings of your wedding guests. Kind of like a blessing-filled piñata, we think!
