1. Decorative Hats & Masks - Celebrate the new year with some festive hats and masks! You can use construction paper, glitter glue, markers, feathers, sequins—anything you have laying around! Plus, it’s a great way to get creative with friends.
2. Photo Booth Props – Create custom photo booth props using wooden dowels or paper straws and fun supplies like washi tape. Your guests will love taking pictures together dressed up as kings and queens of the night! Find lots of options here.
3. Confetti Poppers - Make your own confetti poppers using cardboard tubes decorated with colored paper and filled with tissue paper confetti (which you can make yourself). It’ll be a great way to add more excitement when counting down to midnight! I have a simple tutorial on how to make your own here.
4. Streamers & Tassels– Have extra fun decorating your space by making streamers out of crepe paper or tassels from tissue paper for an extra special touch. You can use different colors for each room or keep it all one color if you prefer something more subtle.
5. Table Centerpieces – Use old mason jars (or any jar!) and fill with noisemakers, confetti, balloons, and candies! This simple and affordable decor doubles as a ‘party kit’. Get all the details here.

7 .Time Capsule – Get creative by making a time capsule full of memories from this past year. Use scrapbooking supplies like stickers, ribbons, rubber stamps, etc., to decorate an old notebook then fill it up with photos, notes, quotes, and more that all represent the past year. This is a great activity if you want kids involved in the festivities.
8. Glittery Cards – Make sparkly cards featuring resolutions or messages like “Choose Happiness” or “Be Kind To Others” using glitter glue pens or glitter paint pens. You can also use them as decorations around your house—just remember not to hang them near any open flames! I found the ones above on Creative Fabrica.
