New Year’s Eve is a great time to make some festive decorations, such as paper lanterns or a New Year’s Eve sign. Paper lanterns are a great decoration for the party, and they can also be used to create a magical feel. Plus, they’re easy to make! All you need is a piece of paper or card stock, scissors, a pencil or pen, and some string or ribbon to hang them. Start by drawing a circle and a smaller circle inside the first one. Then, draw a line from the center of the larger circle to the center of the smaller one. Next, cut along the lines and fold your paper in half. Once your lantern is folded, draw and cut out decorations, such as stars, hearts, or pictures of your guests, and glue them to the paper. Finally, knot one end of the string and thread it through the other end, securing it with a small knot. A New Year’s Eve sign is another decoration you can make. This is a great decoration to use as a prop for photos. You can get creative with your sign and make it any design you want. If you want to keep it simple, you can write “Happy New Year!” on your sign. If you’re looking for a more festive sign, you can use silver, gold, or red glitter to write “Happy New Year!” or “2019.”
