Glitter Happy New Year Banner

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  We sure did, I can’t believe it is over!  Time seriously flies.

I wanted to do a simple project for New Year’s and decided to do a Happy New Year banner….with glitter!

It was super simple but a little messy, I haven’t done much with glitter since….high school.   Luckily I had a little in my stash, but not enough to do all one color.  So I went with three different colors of glitter and barely had enough.

I cut out some triangles and punched holes in them for the background.  I also made smaller triangles with letters in them.  I cut these on on my cricut, but you could easily just trace the pattern and letters with a template and cut by hand.

I put on a layer of mod podge.

Then set on the smaller triangle with the letter cut out. I made sure to push it down really well.

Next I added the glitter!  Making sure it to cover all the background.
And here they are drying.

While they were drying I realized that I didn’t make the year.  So I grabbed a scrap piece of leftover blind (projects from these Here, and Here).  Then I stuck on the year with stickers.

I strung it with twine, and literally taped it on the wall.  I wanted to do it on a wood board, but couldn’t find one big enough, and just ran out of time.  I actually think it is cute on the wall though.

Sorry for the glare, I did spray the finished pieces with clear sealer, so the glitter wouldn’t shed as much,  and it is very overcast so I had to have a light on.

Even still it is fun to get ready to ring in the new year, I have a lot of goals to accomplish this year!

I hope you have a very Happy New Year yourself!
