Why exactly I picked out this book?
I am into Handicraft, and I have always wanted to know how to make all of these wonderful cute lanterns out of ang paos.

My Thoughts ♠♠♠♠♠This book is written in both Chinese and English with absolutely colorful pictorial series of instruction anybody could follow through without fail. I have already done several of these lanterns, and they are quite easy to make following the instructions.

This book is fun for any avid handicraft-er and it would be a great addition to anybody who is just trying out papercrafts.

This would probably interest the Art & Craft interest students. But I must warn you, this would definitely be an addicting activity
