last-minute Lai Tse!

Sometimes it's good to live so 'inconveniently' far away from stores: instead of buying the traditional red 'Lai Tse' envelopes this year, I spontaneously decided to make them by hand. Reusing newspaper for the envelope and a sponge floor mat as a stamp, I created 20 pieces in just about an hour. So if you still don't have your Lai Tse prepared this is the perfect solution!

*For those not living in Hong Kong: 'Lai Tse' is a red envelope handed to children during the Chinese New Year Celebration. The envelopes contain a new money bill, for example HK$10 or HK$20. 

Have a wonderful Year of the Horse everyone - so fast, wild and free!
