New Years Craft

New Years Tube Craft

A new year is upon us, let's make it a good one! 2016 was the year of politics and boy was it an unprecedented one. For me though it wasn't so much about politics, 2016 was the year that I started this website, The Art Dream. It had been a project I had wanted to get started on for a long time and I had finally found the courage to make it happen. I'm hoping that in 2017 I find even more passion and motivation to bring you even more amazing things! So here's to starting off a year full of magic, surprises and new experiences!

This standing 2017 sign is so perfect for your table this New Year's Eve, it shines and sparkles just like a firework, and it's easy to make!

I just so happened to have this cool paper pad filled with shiny gold patterns, it had this numbers page that is perfect for New Years. I also used my Cricut machine but the only thing I cut out for this project are the numbers which you could easily print, cut and trace yourself!

Materials:

• Gold foil and glittered paper
• Cutting machine
• Scissors
• Tacky glue
• Toilet tubes or paper towel tubes
• Stapler

Directions:

Step 1. Cut your numbers using a cutting machine, or you can easily print numbers from a word document program on your computer and use those to trace and cut from the gold glittered paper.

Step 2. Cut your tubes at various lengths. Then cut your special gold paper at the correct height to wrap around the tube. The length is about 6 inches. Secure the paper around the tube with a stapler.

​Step 3. Glue your numbers to the front of the tube.

Cut numbers, trim tubes

Wrap paper around tubes, glue on numbers!

Be sure to display your 2017 sign surrounded by little lights, this will add a fantastic shimmer to your sign and will certainly impress your guests. Have fun making your 2017 tube craft sign and have a wonderful, happy New Year!
