With Christmas done and over it is almost time for New years celebrations to begin. It is a nice time of year one of new beginnings and starting fresh. Of course that also usually means it is a day of celebrations, parties and a lot of fun. I for one prefer to keep my decorations for New Years handmade. It is more intimate and more frugal, what can I say I like to save money. So here are a couple of crafty ideas for your new year party.

 

Paper is your friend and you can make all sorts of fun things out of paper, even if you are not as big of a paper crafter as I am. Clocks, numbers those are just the start use your imagination and have some fun with it.

 

Another way to use some of those lovely Christmas decorations is to re-purpose them for some New Years decorations. You can put them in a glass, a vase or hang them in various ways to make it festive. If you don’t want to reuse your decorations from Christmas you can always hit the post Christmas sale and pick up some new ones to use.

 

Keep it simple but pretty is something I personally like to live by. Using candles and a pretty wreath you can make yourself is a way to keep that with your New years party. It also tends to add a nice ambiance to the room, everyone loves candle light.
