Good morning, party people! Today we’re sharing an easy and stunning New Year’s Eve DIY that will knock your Christmas socks off. These glittery mini champagne bottles need only TWO supplies and take no time at all to put together. We tied metallic curling ribbon to ours to make them extra festive! Here’s how to make your own…

Supplies: mini champagne bottles, spray adhesive, glitter, a shoe box, wax paper, and curling ribbon (optional).

Directions:
1. In a well-ventilated area (preferably outside), coat a champagne bottle in spray adhesive.
2. Over a shoe box, sprinkle the glitter on the bottle to coat completely.
3. When the bottle is covered, set it down on wax paper to dry.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the second champagne bottle, using the excess glitter that fell into the shoebox.
5. When the adhesive is dry, lightly tap the bottles on the bottom to remove the loose glitter.
6. Tie ribbons to the tops of the bottles et voila!

Set these glittery bottles out on a table for your guests to enjoy at midnight on New Year’s Eve, or send them home with everyone as a party favor!

These beautiful bottles of bubbly would make excellent bridesmaid gifts as well. Add them to a box of goodies and ask your most beloved girl friends to stand by your side on your big day!

What are your plans for New Year’s Eve? Anything exciting?

Rock Candy Champagne

Who says the kiddos get to have all the fun? This sweet drink will make you feel like a kid again (well, minus the alcohol, of course).

On your designated cocktail table or bar cart, place a tray of champagne glasses and a bottle of bubbly. Put a stick of rock candy into each glass and let your guests do the rest! We used blue rock candy, but any color will do! The clear rock candy makes an extra classy look while still being sweet and fun.

Remember to drink responsibly and have a safe and happy New Year! 🙂

2 Comments on Tinsel Swizzle Sticks and Pomegranate Champagne

Christmas may be over, but the holiday season is still in full effect! We have the perfect drink to sip on while you’re ringing in the new year, complete with festive drink stirrers!

Materials: Plastic drink stirrers, tinsel garland, scissors, and glue.

Directions:
1. Using scissors, cut off a small piece of tinsel (about an inch and a half).
2. Put glue on the top of the drink stirrer.
3. Hold piece of tinsel onto glue until it sets (if your tinsel garland has wire in it, bend the wire around the drink stirrer to help hold its place).
4. Let dry completely and serve in a champagne glass!

The pomegranate champagne is so delicious and simple! Pour an ounce or two of pomegranate juice in a champagne glass and fill the rest with your favorite champagne. For a kid-friendly version, swap out the champagne for sparkling cider or try these magic cotton candy drinks!

Pizza and Champagne Party

We hosted a girls’ night party with a few of our close friends, some cocktails, and pizza! What better way to spend an ordinary Wednesday evening than by dressing up and sipping on girly drinks with friends?

Here are some highlights from our night!

We dropped a few frozen raspberries in our champagne to keep it chilled and make it fancy! Then we ordered pizza delivery to bring us back down to earth. We also made some jello shots from scratch, and picked up some fresh flowers and frozen macarons from the grocery store. Mixing homemade with store-bought is a great way to make an easy and pretty party come together.
