New Year's Tradition

As a family tradition for New Year's we always cook noodles. It brings longevity and good luck. It's great time to get together with family and friends.

We normally do stir fry noodles called Pancit. My boys love this dish. To celebrate I will be giving my twin boys their very own chopsticks. I got training chopsticks at Target. I got lucky and thought that was a perfect sign for a quick project.

I created a simple chopstick holder. I picked a red card stock and cut it lengthwise, score and fold in half. For the length I just wanted to cover the bottom half of the sticks. I selected two coordinating paper patterns and stamped a circle tag with "Luck" using PSA Essentials Asian Influence peel and stick stamp set. I mounted the circle tag on top of the starburst cut-out.

Secure rectangle patterned paper on the chopstick holder and glue the sentiment on top. Wrap with gold stretchy string for a festive touch.

My New Year's present is done and I can't wait to teach my kids how to use their first chopsticks.
