New Year 2013 Projectsfor adults to make






Here are just a few quick ideas.


Festive Dinnerware, etc.




Materials: Stemware (you can get these at the $1 store), glass paint set, paintbrush (optional), Q-tips, surface conditioner
Directions:
Please note that most glass paint will not permanently adhere to glass unless you use a Surface Conditioner first.  
To make dots, break a Q-tip in half and use the stick end (not the fuzzy side) to apply paint. Make sure to let the glasses dry for twenty four hours before using.  I'd also recommend hand washing.

Easy Glittery Table Decoration for a New Year’s Eve Celebration


 



Materials:  - glittery wrapping or craft paper in colors of choice OR... paint and matching shake-on glitter, - plain semi-thick cardboard (like the thickness of a cereal box), craft glue, wooden skewers, white paint and medium sized star punch
Directions:
Instructions for using glitter paper:
1. Paint 4 skewers white and set aside to dry.
2. Print out the numbers 2, 0, 1, and 3. Here the Windows font “Victorian LET” was used and the numbers were printed out to the size of 7 cm height.
3. Glue the different colored glitter paper onto one side of the cardboard and trace these numbers onto the backside of the cardboard. Cut the numbers out. If you wish both sides of the cardboard to be glittery, glue the paper now on the backside of the cardboard and cut the shape out.
4. Glue the numbers onto the dry skewers.
5. Punch out stars in all of the colors and glue onto the numbers and sticks.
6. Insert the sticks into a glass or other container that is filled with sand and place on the table to enjoy.

3. Paint the cardboard numbers with paint and let dry. Apply a thin layer of glue over the painted side and then shake glitter onto the glue to completely cover it. Let it dry. If you wish that the backside be also painted and glitter, repeat this process for the backside.
4. Glue the numbers onto the dry skewers.
5. Punch out stars in all of the colors and glue onto the numbers and sticks.
6. Insert the sticks into a glass or other container that is filled with sand and place on the table to enjoy.

Fill with hats, sparklers, candy and noisemakers. You can also use then as place makers and put name on them.

Print of clock faces. Glue them to decorated paper. Glue paper to the bag.  Embellish. If you like you can put names or New Year saying on the bags.
