Ring in the New Year with this fun & festive wand craft! This is an easy paper craft that requires very little prep work and with six mix-and-match printable designs, kids will want to make more than one. Plus when you add on a few jingle bells it can also be a fun noisemaker.

We also made a 4th of July printable wand craft and a Canada Day wand craft for more paper crafting fun!

For this project, I created 6 different star printable templates to make this craft even easier for you. These templates are available in my shop as part of my New Year’s art project bundle that includes two different art activities. 

For more fun New Year’s art activities take a look at this chalk pastel fireworks art project and this spin painting New Year’s banner!

Instructions for your New Year Paper Craft

1. First, you want to print out your star printables onto white cardstock.

2. Have kids color, write, and draw in their stars. We used pencil crayons for ours but you could also use markers or even crayons for younger kids.

3. Once kids are finished with their stars, cut them out. Depending on the age of the kids this might need to be done by an adult.

4. Each wand uses 2 stars, so decide which two stars to use for each wand. Using a glue stick, glue the back of one star, put a straw in the middle and the other star on top, pressing down firmly.

5. Thread 3 jingle bells onto your string and tie them onto the straw towards the top.

6. For the final touch, you can add a gold or silver ribbon bow.

This New Year’s Eve wand craft requires very little prep work making it a great craft for kids to work on if you have other New Year’s festivities to attend to. Kids will have fun designing their star wands and noisemakers to ring in the New Year.
