Currently, the trend of making your own (DIY) Tet decorations is becoming increasingly popular, especially among young people and office workers.

Ms. Mai, a small business owner on Hang Ma Street ( Hanoi ), shared: "Customers prefer to choose traditional materials to decorate their living spaces themselves. Products such as rattan baskets, bamboo blinds, conical hats, or rush mats are very popular because they create a rustic yet impressive beauty."

More than just accessories, these products evoke memories of the past, bringing a sense of familiarity and warmth. For example, bamboo trays or rush mats are used instead of imported velvet fabrics, and large fans are now replaced with fishing nets or bamboo baskets, creating a decorative touch that is both novel and familiar.

In particular, the combination of traditional accessories and modern details such as imported plastic flowers, glitter lettering, or lanterns has created many unique designs, suitable for the atmosphere of the traditional Lunar New Year.

Huong Lan, a tourist from Dong Thap , shared her delight at shopping on Hang Ma Street: "The decorations here are very diverse, both traditional and creative."

Besides common accessories like lanterns, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms, I also chose conical hats, carrying poles, and a fishing basket to create a Tet corner with a strong Northern Vietnamese flavor. With just a few hundred thousand to one million dong, I was able to decorate my living space in a meaningful way."

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, the use of traditional items carries profound meaning. Conical hats, bamboo trays, and carrying poles are not only familiar objects in Vietnamese rural life, but also symbols of diligence and family unity. They create a picture of Tet (Vietnamese New Year) that is both fresh and deeply nostalgic.

The creativity of consumers and suppliers of decorative materials is helping to revive the value of traditional handcrafted products.

From traditional fishing nets and bamboo trays to woven rattan baskets, each item carries a story and a cultural beauty. This not only enriches the Tet atmosphere but also helps preserve and spread the traditional values ​​of the nation in modern life.
