The Chinese New Year starts on Saturday 28th January, this year it is the year of the Rooster so here at The Stencil Studio we thought we would put together a collection of stencil designs to celebrate this event.

Families gather together on New Year's Eve and clean their houses to sweep away bad fortune. On New Years Day it is traditional to give red envelopes stuffed with 'lucky money' to children. However, some teens now even have red envelope apps so the money can be given digitally. |

Those born under the sign of the Roosters are described as active, amusing, popular, healthy, outspoken, honest, loyal, talkative and charming. They are also known to enjoy the spotlight - but can be vain and boastful. Famous faces born in the Year of the Rooster include Prince Philip, Serena Williams, Beyonce and Roger Federer. |

If you were born in the years 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993 and 2005 then you are also known as a Rooster. Maybe you should add a few Rooster inspired stencil designs to your home and join in with the Chinese New Year celebrations! Happy New Year & Happy Stencilling! |
