Happy (almost) New Year! Together with 2016 less than three weeks away, it’s time to get ready for a festive and glitzy New Year’s Eve party! And we’ve come up with 3 excellent DIY New Year’s Eve party favors to hand out to your visitors. Inspired by our glamorous black and gold wedding collection, At Last, your guests will love these fairly, shimmering favors! Take a peek at our three ideas and get inspired to create your own for your upcoming party.
Chocolate Midnight Kisses
Here Is What you will need:
- Hershey’s Kisses
- Plastic favor tote
- Dark construction paper
- Gold sharpie
- Stapler
- Glue or tape
First, catch a few Hershey’s Kisses (we especially like these Personalized Holiday Hershey’s Kisses), stick them in a plastic favor tote, and staple the top closed. Then cut your black construction paper so it fits around the top of your bag and may be folded over both sides. Now that you know where your fold is, draw your own design or write a message on the paper with all the gold sharpie. Your last step is to fasten the paper into the peak of the plastic bag. We decided to use glue because we didn’t need the staples to reveal, but you can just use a stapler or tape if you prefer. That is it!
Gold Glitter Champagne Bottles
Here Is What you will need:
- Champagne or mini cider bottles
- Spray glue
- Glitter
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Sealer
Start off by spraying on your bottles using the spray glue. If it didn’t come out evenly or if you missed any stains, spread the glue using a paintbrush. (be sure you do this over newspaper, outdoors, or inside a box just like we did so you do not become extra adhesive everywhere). Let the glue set on the bottle for about 5 minutes and then just add glitter! We thought it was easiest to make a heap of glitter on construction paper to roll up the bottle in, then we used our fingers to sprinkle glitter on any left bare parts of the jar. Your final step is to spray on the jar with sealer so the glitter stays put. Let it dry, tie on a ribbon, and sew! (If you would like to see incremental directions with photographs, take a look at our original DIY: Gold Glitter Champagne Bottles article ).
Confetti Poppers
Here’s what you will need:
- Assorted confetti
- Vinyl tubes
This may be the easiest job nonetheless. All you’ve got to do is just open the lid of the plastic tubing, add on your favourite confetti, and secure the lid back on. Now your visitors can take it home as a favor or have a simple way to get a grasp of confetti to throw if the clock strikes midnight!
