This star spin painting is a super easy and fun New Year’s art project that will make a great addition to your holiday decor! We used gold and silver paint to create our spin art stars and made them into a fun New Year’s banner that can be hung on your wall to help ring in the New Year!

We love exploring different painting techniques. Take a look at my collection of painting ideas for kids for more fun and creative art projects to try!

Supplies to make a New Year's Eve banner

Supplies

  • Star templates, printed on white printer paper (optional)
  • Gold or silver cardstock
  • Black cardstock
  • White cardstock
  • Gold or silver ribbon
  • Gold and silver acrylic paint
  • Salad spinner ** Use an old salad spinner that will not be used for food
  • Gold or silver fine sharpie
  • Scissors
  • White glue

Instructions to make your New Year’s Eve banner

1. Start by making your spin art stars. You can print the template provided by clicking on the link below, or kids can draw their own stars.

If kids are going to draw their own stars, make sure they are big enough to fit in your salad spinner. If they are too small, they will stick to the sides when you spin.

2. Cut out the template and trace the bigger star onto black cardstock, you will need two stars for your banner. We made a few more because spin painting is so fun!

3. Put a star in the bottom of an old salad spinner, and drizzle gold and silver paint onto the star. You don’t want to cover the whole star with paint, leave lots of black showing.

4.  Put the lid on the salad spinner and spin. To make it easier for kids to spin, have an adult hold the salad spinner. Open the lid to reveal your unique pattern. It’s always fun for kids to see the design that they made!

Carefully, take the star out and set it aside to dry. Finish spinning the rest of your stars.

You can use your extra stars for table decor or just as a fun art project! Try using the smaller star template to cut out the middle of one of your stars for a cool effect.

5. Next, you want to make your Happy New Year sign. Cut out a rectangle out of white cardstock. Write “Happy New Year” with gold or silver sharpie. I cut ours to approximately 7 1/4 inches x 1 1/2 inches.

6. Trace the smaller star onto gold or silver cardstock and cut it out.   

7. Cut a length of ribbon for your banner and tie a loop at the top for hanging up.

8. Before you start to glue anything down, place all of the items onto the ribbon to see the placement of everything.

Kids can add more stars or change the layout if they like to make their banner unique. You can even add in the date to your craft.

Glue the back of one star and press it onto the ribbon. The glue will leak through the ribbon so make sure you have scrap paper or newspaper down.

Continue gluing all of your banner items to the ribbon. Once everything is glued down, turn your banner over to dry. Make sure to let the glue dry completely before hanging it up.
