New Year's Eve decoration: DIY confetti dipped balloons
We all know those beautiful clear confetti-filled balloons that have become all the rage, but what if you don't just want clear balloons? Well, then of course you put the confetti on the outside!
Accesories:
Balloons
Gold foil confetti
Decoupage glue or Mod Podge
Paint brush or foam brush
When filling the balloons with helium to make them float, be careful not to put too much confetti on the balloons or they won't stay up! It's best to sacrifice a balloon as a test balloon so you can see how much confetti it can handle. If you just fill the balloons with air and let them bounce around on the ground, the more confetti the better!
How to make glittering balloons yourself:
- Take the inflated balloon and apply the decoupage glue to the bottom of the balloon. You need a thin but even layer. You can either paint a straight line so that you have a very defined “confetti hollow,” or you can roughen the top of the decoupage area to make it look a little less perfect.
- Anyway, once you've applied the glue, you can start dipping and sprinkling the confetti. It is besta balloonhold over a large bowl of confetti and take a handful of each and press it onto the balloon. Shake the balloon to let the excess confetti fall off, then let it dry.
- The confetti will stick pretty well with these steps, but for extra security you can also add another layer of decoupage glue over the confetti and let it dry. (The glue will then dry clear.) If you do this, you'll need to factor in the extra waiting time for the second coat so the balloons don't get too heavy!

Make great gold fringe party hats
Party hats are a suitable accessory for any party. And for Силжестер they should sparkle and reflect your festive mood!
Materials required:
gold metallic tissue paper
Cardboard
Fransenschere
Rubber band
Glue or tape (whichever you prefer)
How to make the party hats:
- The party hats are made using the print template we provide. Once downloaded, print it out on cardstock, cut out the shape, and fold it up!
- Cut two slits in each side of the hat and tie an elastic band through them. Tie it together on the inside.
- Cut the tissue paper to size with fringe scissors. This particular type of metallic paper is quite delicate, so we've found that very quick cuts work best.
- Attach short strips so that they fit comfortably around the round shape of the hat. Start at the bottom of the hat and go around the hat. Attachthe fringeswith adhesive tape, so it will be less messy - but of course you can also use craft glue. On top of this first layer, attach another layer and work your way all the way up! There's plenty of room for error, so don't worry about bad fringes or overlaps!
