Endless Possibilities

And when you really have time on your hands, you can go all out and create
 3-D creatures/animals. Just like this Rhino.




Creations of Joss Paper

You can do many things with Joss Paper...



Some people fold the paper into boat shape materials for use in other ways, such as putting them together to form larger shapes such as hearts, circles (representing the sun), stars, vases/jars, etc. The paper can come in all sorts of colors, just depending on which you prefer.


Here are a few pictures to show you just some possible things that you can do with them:
                                                                                                    

You can cut the joss paper out into shapes 

and glue them together to form this: Elephants.      



You can  also fold the boats and glue them 
together to form heart shape flowers. Here is
a gold and silver heart with birds. This person
was very creative with the birds. There are 
really no limits to what you can do.                                                                           




 Here is one Silver with gold roses.

Here is a circle one in Gold and Silver. 
Here is a silver one with gold roses.




These are the Jars that you can make and 
fill them in with your folded joss papers.

This is a Gold Star.

Definition of Joss Paper




The meaning of Joss Paper:

                "Joss Paper, literally 'gold paper', also known as ghost money, are sheets of paper... which are common in traditional Chinese/Asian religious practices including the veneration of the deceased on holidays and special occasions. Joss paper, as well as other papier-mâché items, are also burned in traditional Asian funerals, to ensure that spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife." --Wikipedia
