Making the Double Happiness decoration

Today I went to a bridal shower and we were making arts and crafts! Since the bride needed Double Happiness decorations for her house, her bridesmaids decided that we would make them for her! We were given white paper, red tissue paper, red/gold glitter and gluestick to work with. Armed with a template of the Double Happiness symbol, I drew the outline and decided to fill it with pieces of red tissue paper. It was very simple to do (although it was quite tiring to rip and roll up small pieces of tissue paper).

Here is what it looked like half way through my gluing process. The final result looks wonderful. I can't wait to see it on her wedding day!
