CELEBRATIONS: New Year’s Eve Confetti Straws

New Year's Eve Confetti Straws via homework | carolynshomework.comEvery year I try to come up with a new way to package up confetti for New Year’s Eve. That way, everyone just gets a small handful and the confetti and glitter clean up is somewhat manageable. Besides, the package makes it all the more fun.

And here are the confetti holders that I have shared in the past three years.

How are you ringing in the new year? Champagne and confetti? Or, will you be fast asleep at the stroke of midnight?
