Chinese New Year Decoration at Craft Space

Chinese New Year is just a month away...to welcome the year of the Monkey...u should expect to see a lot of Monkey themed crafts...I really mean it 😜😜😜

After the successful decoration for Halloween & Xmas, we just can't stop & we want to continue to challenge ourselves further!

So, for this CNY decoration, we made cute monkeys...

How can we not have the Cherry Blossom tree???

We even added some Mandarin Oranges made from Magic Nuddles...

We have lots of cherry blossom flowers on the floor too!

Not to mention a lucky cat made from foam AND fire crackers from Ang Pow packets! 😍😍😍

I even took out my pride possession...the pineapple that I made when I was a teenager...cool huh?

Best of all...the wishing board is made using LOTS of Perler beads...we even manage to make it in Chinese characters...

We also made 2 Lucky Cats out of Perler Beads & are now on display...hopefully they will bring us more sales 😊😊😊

This decoration project is making all the instructors excited but for Putra team...we actually got some kids to involve in the making!

This masterpiece took us about 2 weeks to complete which involved at least 50 kids! 😍😍😍

Super loving this!

5th Week of Craft Activities (15th Feb 2015)

Here's what U have been waiting for! Activities conducted on 15 Feb 2015...

We have the sheep themed activities again (read here to find out more) PLUS some decorative items in preparation of the upcoming Chinese New Year!

This is cool as the kids (plus their mommy) actually did it together!

2015...the Year of Xiao Mian Yang (little sheep in Mandarin)

And, we have a WINNER! 

Yesterday, i posted a blog on my new experiment of sheep/lamb & did a little survey to find out which one is the most adorable one...so, the result is out! And,i gave her a name & a history too...:D

This is Clover, the Little Lambie.

Clover means prosperity, abundance, wealth, success, luck & overall well-being; which is highly auspicious for the Chinese. We Chinese sometimes can be very greedy & want all of the goodies yea! LOL

A little zodiac fact on sheep/lamb/goat...According to the Chinese Astrology, the Sheep/Lamb is the 8th sign & the number 8 is considered to be a very lucky number. It symbolizes wisdom, fortune & prosperity.

Clover is 18cm long & 10cm tall.

She is rather difficult to make as you can't really count the stitches when using fluffy yarn...lol

But I love the outcome!

Clover is available for pre-order now! Grab yours before it is too late! :D
