As promised, I’m showing you a cute and simple craft you can make for your Family New Year’s Eve celebration: noise makers!
Earlier this week I told you about the fun we had at our family New Year’s Eve. Today, I’m going to give you a tutorial on a simple craft you can make to add to your family fun on New Year’s Eve.
Supplies:
- Empty ribbon spools
- Scrapbook paper
- Beans and/or rice
- Ribbon
- Adhesive
First, trace the empty spool of ribbon onto the scrapbook paper. Cut the circles out. Next, adhere your ribbon to one side of the empty spool of ribbon.
After adhering the ribbon to one side of the empty spool, adhere the circle of scrapbook paper to that same side.
Flip your empty spool over. Fill with beans and/or rice.
Your last step is to adhere the ribbon, then scrapbook paper to the final side of your ribbon spool.
Easy peasy, you are done!
The inspiration for this idea came from The Dating Divas ~ Family New Year’s.
Happy New Year’s to you and your family! I hope you have a fantastic and fun New Year’s Eve and 2013!
Very Creative! I love it!
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am so behind on replying to comments that I have totally missed your link party. Thanks so much for the invitation.

Such a fun and ‘green’ idea!
Thanks!

I love this idea! I am now mad at myself for throwing my spools in the recycling bin! I had a ton of those of the past few weeks! Well now I will be saving them all year long! I would love to have you link up at my Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s! https://www.pandpkitchen.com/2012/12/30/show-me-your-plaid-mondays-4/
Oh…well, if you are like me, you will have new empty spools in no time! I saved mine throughout the year and had plenty, even threw a few away.
Take Care,
KC
Great project. I have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Blog Hop and would love to have you share this with everyone. It runs from Wednesday through midnight Sunday. Here is the link to the party.

What a great project! I just knew there was something to do with an empty spool. I’ll have to remember this for next year, or for a birthday party.
Thank you! Have fun with your noise makers when you make them. We had fun with ours!
KC
What a great idea, so cute! I will have to hang on to those empty spools, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Yep, hang onto them as you empty them. Makes for an inexpensive craft! 🙂
KC
Great idea! Will definitely have to give this a go. Found you over at Brassy Apple’s Make it Monday Link Party. 🙂

These are ingenious and a great recycled project! I would love for you to come link up at my new weekly linky party Thrifty to Nifty Thursdays at A Jennuine Life. I’m working with a couple of bigger bloggers to feature great projects, so I’m hoping to bring fabulous exposure for participants! https://ajennuinelife.blogspot.com/2013/01/thrifty-to-nifty-thursdays-1.html
Thank you!
KC
Such a cute idea and so fast and easy to make!
I love that you used empty ribbon spools.
I am one of those “hoarder” type people who hates to throw anything away if I can make it useful and this is one of those projects that is “trash to treasure” for me!
Thank-you for the inspiration!
I found you from Link-up Tuesday at Sarah Hamer Designs!
