I really wish I could make some of the resources I have made printable. But I haven't got the time to go learn yet. Anyone who knows, can you please please teach me? Please PM me. TIA.

We also learnt how to make 财神 origami from a website.

We even reused a box and made our orange holder out of it. 

So, we would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and may the New Year be 發 ah...
