(Before It's News)
Once Christmas is over and you know what that means… the new year is around the corner. This year has flown by so quickly but I guess I say that every year.
If you’re planning to ring in the new year with friends and family, here’s a fun party accessory that’s easy to make.
Little countdown matchboxes filled with confetti.
I wrapped my matchboxes in different colored foil paper. This paper came in an origami paper set but any festive paper will do.
You can buy confetti or use saved up paper punches from your crafting projects. My micro paper punch has a holder that stores the little punches. Luckily, I’ve been punching a lot of tags and paper lately.
Add some twine or ribbon and the countdown numbers.
Make as many sets of {10-1} that you’ll need so that each guest will have a box of confetti to toss at midnight. The more guests… the more vacuuming you’ll have to do in the morning!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
