February 12th marks the start of the Chinese New Year 2021! 🐂🎇🎆🎉
If you search around, you can probably find several Ox / Cow papercrafts that people created to celebrate. Of course, since the Chinese Zodiac is cyclical, you can each papercraft Zodiac animal every twelve years; but this specific papercraft can even be used every year:
Since a long time, people have performed the "Lion Dance" to scare off the New Year monster Nian to bring luck and prosperity and prevent bad things from happening in the new year. 🕺🕺🦁
The lion is always very colorful, so be sure to color the blank template in all kinds of bright colors!
