Feng Shui Paper Weight
Add a Chinese coin to symbolize prosperity.

Instructions:

Clean a rock off with water and let dry completely. Cover rock with light weigt paper carefully using the Nori paste. Wrap and fold around the rock as you go and smooth down paper edges with your fingers. Let dry. Collage scraps of printed rayon paper over the front and back surface of the rock.

Cut a piece of redline tape to fit around the circumference of the rock. Press firmly on rock. Remove backing and attach paper cords or cording to tape wrapping tightly. Trim edges.
Cut another piece of tape to wrap around the other section of the rock and apply cords the same way.

Finish off by attaching the coin, bamboo and tassel to the raw edges of the cord with hot glue or cement.

Apply acrylic gloss varnish when dry. If you want a natural look, use a matte varnish to seal.

Note:
Chinese Coins have always been a popular symbol of wealth and prosperity. The square in the center represents the energy of the earth, while the circle represents the essence of spirit. Combined, they drive the power of wealth and abundance, and when energized with a red/silver thread, they are transformed into powerful emblems of prosperity.
