Today is the 7th days of Chinese New Year!!!! It is everybody’s birthday and we are officially 1 year older in our lunar age. Traditionally, we get together on this day to toss the colorful raw fish salad(yee sang, 鱼生) and make wishes for continued wealth and prosperity. The higher we toss, the better we will get 🙂
I made this treats holder to serve little treats during Chinese New Year. Every kids visited my house during this festive season likes it…. I mean the treat!!! I made another bigger one to put some mandarin oranges as well. To my surprise, it can also be a King’s crown if the fold is made deeper.
I saw this method quite sometimes ago and amazed on how the holder was transformed from, it was a “cross” originally!!!

I’m attempting to make these and can’t quite seem to understand how the right side and wrong side aspects work to piece the whole thing together. Is there any way you can clarify these steps better to assist?
I can understand that it is confusing because of the poor picture quality of my long-ago tutorial when I was using a simple point and shoot camera. Sorry about that. Forget about my step pictures on the right and wrong side instruction, what you need to make is to sew the pieces together until it shows up like the picture below.
it quite an old blog entry of yours, but i wanted to tell, that i’ve been sewing three holders for a birthday according to your great tutorial! http://nyhetbloggt.blogspot.com/2011/07/bekkis-bday-spoileralarm-bekki-keep.html I do like them really much 🙂
Nyhet, the treat holders are pretty with a calming color 🙂 I am glad to know!!!!
I have wanted to post about something like this on my site and this gave me an idea. Thanks.
I’ll have a lot of fun looking for exotic fabrics to make these treats-holders.
Thai hand-woven silk or cotton would make it really unique…
That’s so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing this, I’ll be linking.
