Glittering champagne or wine bottles!
Why throw away the empty wine bottles you’ve had last Christmas when you can use them for a better, more creative purpose! They can serve as a durable stand for your personalized 2-0-1-7 welcome display. For this idea, you’ll need to secure the following:
- 4 empty wine bottles to serve as a stand for each year digit (2-0-1-7)
- 4 barbecue sticks longer by about 4 inches than the wine bottles
- printed 2017 (preferably in huge text fit in one bond paper)
- Cardboard (where you can attach the printed number for a sturdier feel)
- Gold spray paint (for the empty bottles)
- Silver glittered paper (to cover the black, printed text)
Glittering New Year candles!
New Year celebration wouldn’t be complete in the absence of colorful lights to adorn your windows, doors and any other furniture around your home. But why not try a candle-lit atmosphere plus the colored glitters? You can place this item on your dining table, on top of coffee tables and more. You will need the following:
- 4 glass-shaped, same-colored candles (scented or not is fine)
- 4 colors of glitters
- High-quality glue (capable of holding the glitters as you sprinkle them around the candles)
After sprinkling and drying up the glitters on the candles, you can then draw and cut the 2017 digits on them (one digit per candle).
