Happy New Year

December 29, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

We are planning a quiet New Year this year. I think a lovely dinner, some champagne, and a family movie will be a great way to see in 2012!

For those of you planning something with a bit more Zing, there has been plenty of New Year’s inspiration over at Pinterest.

Here are some of our favourite New Years projects (perhaps we will have more energy next year)!

New Year Cookies from Sweet Sugar Belle

Countdown Party Theme from Hostess with the Mostess

Free Printable from The 36th Avenue
New Years Banner from A Field Journal
New Years Resolution Poster from Idea Obscura

What are your plans for the New Year?

    Happy New Year to you! We are going to make a selection of appetizers, visit friends and watch a movie.

    Love the selection of celebratory goodies you found, especially that printable sign! So cool to find clever typography and design.

    Those new year cookies are stunning – bold and smooth icing perfectly piped and draped over a beautiful, pale sugar cookie- if only my year ahead is to be as perfect!!

In today's reel, I'm transforming the Sugar Totes into a festive advent calendar using simple self-cover buttons and heat transfer vinyl numbers.

Here's how I made them:

 🎁 Cover 22mm metal self-cover buttons with natural linen
 🎁 Cut numbers from black heat transfer vinyl (Arial Rounded MT Bold, 42pt)
 🎁 Make the buttons first, then carefully apply the numbers using an iron on medium heat
 🎁 Attach the numbered buttons to the totes

The Sugar Totes are the perfect size for little treats, chocolates, notes, sewing goodies or other small surprises to open each day in the lead-up to Christmas.

Best of all, the Sugar Totes are included in the Christmas Cheer Bundle, packed full of festive sewing projects. Sugar Totes are exclusive to the bundle and not available elsewhere.

⏰ The bundle closes 10 November, so don't miss out!
