Lucky money for the beginning of the year is a traditional cultural feature of Vietnamese people. However, after each Tet holiday, many families still have quite a lot of leftover lucky money envelopes, which is very wasteful. To solve this problem, housewives can apply a few simple recycling methods that are both beautiful and useful.
Sorting and reusing lucky money envelopes
Many designs today are designed to be minimalist with apricot or peach blossom motifs. Designs that do not print the zodiac animal characteristic of the old year can be completely classified and reused. For shells that are still intact as new, housewives should clip them between thick books to maintain flatness so that they can be reused next year.
Make holiday gifts
After the Lunar New Year, there are many holidays or birthdays that can still use lucky money envelopes effectively. For example, using elegant plain red patterns to celebrate birthdays, weddings, longevity of grandparents and parents... This is a practical way to both save spending and avoid waste.
Making decorations
Instead of littering into the environment, lucky money envelopes can become quite effective materials for making handicrafts. Members can also show their ingenuity together when cutting and pasting to create small lanterns, paper fans...
These products are used to decorate ornamental plants or study corners, which will be extremely eye-catching and interesting. This is also a way for parents to educate children to be aware of environmental protection and save on items from a young age.
Transforming into school supplies
With lucky money envelopes that are slightly torn, housewives can still take advantage of the intact paper surface to cut and paste as notes on the desk or desk. Red lucky money envelopes with hard paper material are very suitable for making book bookmarks.
