New Year's Eve is the perfect opportunity to welcome in the New Year with sparkling decorations. With our simple craft instructions, you can create a stylish 'Happy New Year' garland and useful glass markers to give your celebration that little bit extra.
Step 1: Print out and transfer the template Start by printing out our free template with the letters for your garland. Then use graphite paper to transfer the templates to your chosen metallic and glitter paper. The graphite paper acts as a transfer medium to reproduce the templates accurately.
Step 2: Cut out the letters Carefully cut out the letters transferred to the paper. Precise handling of the scissors will ensure that your garland looks stylish and even.
Step 3: Punch holes and thread the ribbon Use a hole punch to punch a hole in each of the cut-out letter shapes. A hole punch is a handy tool for creating perfectly round holes in your paper. Thread a ribbon through the holes in the letters until they are all connected.
Your glittery 'Happy New Year' garland is ready to be hung hooks or placed on the table. It's guaranteed to be a highlight of your New Year's Eve decorations!
Practical glass markers for New Year's Eve
Step 1: Transfer the stars Download the star template and print it out. A is for the rim of the glass. B is for the glass stem. Transfer the outlines of the stars onto your glitter paper. These stars have been designed to fit well on the rim of a glass.
Step 2: Cut out the stars Carefully cut out the transferred stars from the glitter paper.
Step 3: Labelling the stars Use a permanent marker to personalise the cut-out stars with names or New Year's wishes. This allows each guest to recognise their personal glass immediately.
Step 4: Attach to the glasses Attach the labelled stars to the rims of the glasses so that there is no confusion and every guest can find their drink.
Start the new year with a successful celebration full of style and individuality!
