This year welcome in a new year with a colour that related to opulence and wealth. Who knows, it might just bring good luck.

A simple paper garland is quick and easy to make with cotton, cut out circles and Rust-Oleum Universal pure gold and gold glitter spray.

To cut out small circles or star shapes you can use a craft punch (find at craft and hobby stores), or set up your own printing business and invest in the Brother ScanNCut. The unit retails at around R6000, so setting up an online business for printing holiday and party packs will soon recoup the cost you outlay.

With its 300 DPI built-in scanner the Brother ScanNCut can take your scanned images, photos or hand drawn sketches and turn them into templates for cutting your own designs. You can also cut fabric with the Brother ScanNCut. The machine offers the unique feature of drawing your seam allowance and provides precise sewing guidelines - making sewing, quilting and appliqué projects easier to create than ever before.

Use different sized punches, or cut out larger circles, to make a festive garland to decorate your indoor or outdoor spaces. Spray some of the circles with Rust-Oleum Universal pure gold or metallic gold and staple or sew onto long lengths of thread.

You can't have a party without balloons and if you can't find gold balloons - make your own! Use craft glue to stick gold foil wrapping paper around the base of blown up balloons, or lightly dust them with glitter spray.

Food and drink for your New Year's celebration should tie in with the theme as much as possible. Dress up the table with a gold theme using party straws and printed labels with new year messages. You will find some amazing party supplies at bargain stores like Excitement stores, China Malls and discount shops.
