Ready? 10...9...8...7...

Whew! Two more days and counting til Christmas and I JUST finished my shopping. You know what that means? Yes, it means it's time to start wrapping presents, but it also means that New Year's Eve is only 9 days away! Guess who's got great New Year's ideas? Ben Franklin Crafts!

First, I've got an easy DIY New Year's popper. It's made using scrap pieces of paper, some star confetti, gold mirror paper, gold glitter tape, and a push-up favor. I accordion folded the gold mirror paper to have something fly out of the popper when the count down reaches zero.

Next, I made a festive and fun party hat to wear on that special night. Use Thickers stick-on letters to spell out your message, and hot-glue to attach feathers, rhinestones, and other fun embellishments.

Stop by our stores for more ideas to make your New Year's celebrations even more enjoyable and exciting.
