Use your leftover red packets from Chinese New Year to make a fish as a decoration for your home. Just follow this four step guide to make a simple fish. For a more complex fish, watch the video below.
Steps

Cut a straight line from any one point of the red packet. Do not cut the red packet in half, just half way.
-
Place your pen knife into the red packet and cut open both sides of the red packet.
-
Put both ends of the 'tail' together and staple them together.
-
Poke a hole through the upper fin using a needle and pull a thread through the hole. Tie a knot on the end.
-
Finished.
Tips
