Description
After a week and a half, I've finally finished!!! This is a commission for a couple of my friends who are getting married on friday (yes, ALL my friends are getting married this summer it seems...) and wanted three of each Chinese zodiac animal to adorn the tables during the reception.I also folded three Welsh dragons for the top table (as the groom's Welsh) which can be seen HERE .
Each creature is between 10 and 15cm in length, folded from the most annoying gold wrapping paper ON THE PLANET.
Yes.
But I've done it, they look shiny and beautiful, everyone's happy.
Thanks for looking!

hmmm..... why bunny and not cat? or both? seeing as you're vietnamese, don't you celebrate year of the cat, not bunny?
but otherwise, they're all so cute~ especially the mouse and pig.

I'm Chinese, actually, hence why there's the rabbit and not the cat.
Thank you! <3

it is very awesome, and my mom makes it with the whole drip contraption and everything.
my go-to for summer is passionfruit juice. we have a vine, and in late summer it goes nuts and just dumps tons of fruit on us. and it smells AMAZING
