The Chinese New Year is upon us, and if you haven\u2019t already heard, 2020 is going to be The Year of the Rat<\/strong>. The rat is the first animal in the Chinese zodiac twelve year cycle, and signifies: spirit, wit, alertness, delicacy, flexibility and vitality.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into the festive spirit by getting crafty and making a Chinese New Year bookmark commemorating the year of the rat.<\/p>\n

This easy Chinese New Year craft project was inspired by the traditional folk art of Chinese Paper Cutting<\/strong>. Add a string of Chinese lucky coins to attract prosperity into your life.<\/p>\n

To speed up this craft project, or make it suitable for a kids Chinese New Year craft project, you can omit the paper cutting step and embellish the bookmark with sparkly stickers or glitter instead.<\/p>\n
