Chinese New Year - Welcome Door Hanger

To start off Chinese New Year week, we've got this cute Welcome Door Hanger. I found it on kaboose.com.



Here's what you need:
-Red door hanger (available at a craft store, or make your own from red foam or paper)
-Gold glitter glue
-Orange foam circles in various sizes
-White craft glue
-Pattern

Here's how to make it:
-Print out the pattern of Chinese letters. This spells out "Welcome."
-Use the pattern and a pencil or pen to draw the Chinese letters onto the door hanger.
-Using gold glitter glue, carefully trace the Chinese letters. Decorate the rest of the door hanger as you like. The sample shows a border around the hanger and decoration on the corners.
-Allow the glitter glue to dry for at least three hours.
-When glitter glue is dry, glue the orange circles onto the lower half of the door hanger. The larger circles are oranges and they represent wealth. The smaller circles are tangerines, which are symbolic of good luck.
