This is a very simple decoration for your home in the Christmas time when you're waiting for the New Year. You can also hang it on your main door for the New Year's Eve party.
Let your children help you.
Cut the red fine felt into a rectangular shape (50x45 cm - 20x18in).
Cut the white fine felt into 4 strips with the same dimensions of the panel and glue them on its perimeter.
Cut the ribbon into 2 85 cm (34in) long pieces and into 2 80 cm (32in) long pieces and glue them after the white strips on the panel.
Look at the image and the enlarged one for more details.
If you want, you can download the file with the bottle and the numbers. Substitute the word auguri with Happy New Year. If you don't like the font, you can substitute it. Cut the different fine felt to obtain all the images and glue them recombining the drawining as you can see in the photo. Besides you have to cut some white fine felt to obtain the profile of 2 glasses. Glue the numbers for the years inside.
Let the panel dry very well for at least 24 hours. Then pass the golden felt tip on the outline of every number and letter and prepare 4 little rectangles in red fine felt and glue them on the back of your panel.
Let the panel dry very well and then hang it on the wall or on a door.
Naturally you can use it in the next years substituting the final number of the years.
