Chinese New Year falls on February 10th this year and 2024 is the year of the Dragon. Traditionally, adults hand out red envelopes with money inside them to children, family members, friends, and even coworkers to wish them luck, health, and abundance.
The amount you place inside the red envelope can vary depending on closeness of the relationship, but generally vary from $5-$100, ($5 for acquaintances, $10 for friends, $20+ for your own children, and $100+ for close elders).
Unfortunately (not really because it’s still money) the envelopes you usually find in stores and markets are pretty plain and very traditional. Hence I decided to design some that were a little cuter and more to my style to hand out this year.
Download and print these with the pdf file. Assembly requires some cutting and gluing, and takes less than a couple of minutes to do! I recommend using card stock paper for a more sturdy envelope. Each one prints on a US Letter sized sheet, and the final product fits US Dollars perfectly!
Start off the new year right by wishing others well with these red envelopes!
