Chinese New Year - Red Lucky Fu Symbol Placemat

The Fú character signifies good luck and fortune in Chinese and is a key decorative emblem for Chinese New Year. Often paper or cloth decorations are hung around the door to usher in the luck while driving away the evil spirits. Sometimes you'll see the Fú character upside down, much like the Western tradition of the upside-down horseshoe, a clever word play that ends up meaning "Good luck arrives," hence the common placement of this symbol near the door or in entranceways. This design features this universally recognizable Chinese good luck character in red and gold, with a very simple swirl background that puts a minimalist modern twist on old-school Chinese brocade patterns. Some products feature an extra gold and red ribbon, for a bit of bling, which can be removed by hitting the big blue Customize button. You can also tweak the design however you like, add text, move elements, make items bigger or smaller!
