Craft ideas for a great New Year’s Eve party

If you invite friends and family to New Year’s Eve, you can create a really nice decoration with just a few resources. Here we show you nice ideas on how you can make New Year’s Eve decorations.

For some, New Year’s Eve parties are wild and exuberant, for others they are a little quieter and peppered with traditions such as raclette and dinner for one. No matter how and with whom you celebrate, it remains a special day on which we say goodbye to the old year and usher in the new one. For this festive occasion, we need some decorations – and of course we make them ourselves.

Make lucky pigs

A quick DIY for all sewing enthusiasts: The little lucky pigs are sewn from parchment paper and filled with colorful confetti. Place two pieces of parchment paper on top of each other, draw a piggy with a pencil and roughly cut out the outline. Sew the design with a tight backstitch, but leave an opening just before you hit the starting point of the seam again. Fill the pigs with confetti through the opening. As soon as you have filled in the confetti, close the opening with a tight backstitch. Cut the motif close to the edge – and your confetti table decoration is ready.

New Year’s Eve rockets

A beautiful Craft idea with children and a perfect upcycling project for empty toilet rolls: Cover the toilet paper roll with a rectangle of craft paper the same size as the roll. Then cut out the mouth, nose, eyes and decorations for the rocket from craft paper or alternatively adhesive film. For the hats, draw a circle with a compass. Draw a wedge on the circle from the center (width: about a quarter of the circle) and cut it out. Now you can overlap the cut surfaces of the surface and glue them on top of each other to create a cone. You stick the cone onto the rocket as a hat. For the icing on the cake, you can stick (preferably recycled) gift ribbons into the rocket from below. If you want, you can thread several rockets with a needle and thin thread and distribute them on a garland or around the room.

Lucky Nuts – alternative to fortune cookies

Fortune cookies are very popular on New Year’s Eve – there is a saying or prophecy for the future hidden inside the crispy sweet cookies. If you want to surprise your loved ones with specially thought-out sayings and don’t dare to bake cookies, you can make little lucky nuts instead. To do this, simply open walnut shells very carefully with a dull knife, remove the contents (and set aside for a delicious fruit salad), put a small message down and place the nut halves on top of each other again. Tie the nut halves together with thicker twine so they can be easily opened again. For example, leave one nut for guests per seat.

Pop bags for little New Year’s Eve guests

Popping bags are a great idea for New Year’s Eve for children as they provide lots of action. They are easily made from sandwich bags: fill the bags with confetti, funny sayings or snap peas. Put a straw in the bag and tape the remaining opening completely shut. Then let the glue dry thoroughly. The pop bag can now be stamped, glued or painted. On New Year’s Eve, blow up the bags and let them pop.

Lucky clover

The small jam jars with the words “Happiness” on them make the perfect New Year’s Eve decoration. Clean the jars thoroughly and then plant lucky clover in them. You can decorate the potty with letter cubes and decorative ribbons. Suitable for table decoration as well as a small souvenir for the hosts to the party.

Lucky ones to light

We can always use a bit of luck in the new year – the lucky ones or lucky candles are sure to be of good use! For the candles, take white taper candles and dip the tips into melted red candle wax. To do this, melt leftover red wax in a heat-resistant container in a water bath. For the white dots, you either use a white candle paint pen, with which you can easily apply liquid wax, or you melt white candle wax in a water bath and dab it on with a stick.

The decorations are in place, all that’s missing is the right food for the New Year’s Eve party: Here you’ll find the tastiest raclette ingredients and other delicious New Year’s Eve recipes. Funny New Year’s Eve games for adults can be found here. We wish a happy new Year!
