Chinese Zodiac Snake Angbao decor

Chinese New Year is around the corner (seriously?) and this year we’ll be ushering the slithering SNAKE! Let’s make a cute little snake today shall we?

DIY Ang Pow SNAKE

Cut open an angpow. Remove excess edges to form a clean square.

Fold both ends into the middle and fold again.

Fold the flip down, open and fold the other one up. This is just to create the crease.

Accordion fold the body and your Angpow Snake is done!

If you think this snake is a bit too tough, you may want to try this simpler snake.

It’s kinda tough for a dummy like me >.<

But will (die-die) try it out too, CNY mah :)

If fails, I'll go search for your simpler snake.
