New Year's Eve is a great excuse to bring the glitter and shine back out from Christmas! And what better way to do it than with star-themed decor?! Here are some easy ways to set a starry night for your party–all that you can still make in time for this weekend!
Set the stage with hanging, glittery stars. Spray adhesive glue on cardboard stars you've cut out, and spread on glitter. If you're in a time crunch and budget allows, Michaels has glittered paper at about $1 per sheet, so all you have to do is just cut out your stars. With a moon, you can create a fun "photo booth" area as done here. Photo source

I love this star headband as a fun alternative to party hats! Get the how-to from Design*Sponge
here. Your desserts should get some sparkle too! Find out how to make these sugar stars

Have the kids make glittery wands. Attach bells so they can use them to make noise at midnight! Photo source

Whatever you choose to do this Friday night, may your New Year's be shiny and bright!
I am going to spend this last day of 2010 relaxing with my family. It's going to be a quiet New Year's Eve for us tonight, which suits me fine. I will though, run out and get a few things to make it fun for the girls tonight–have them decorate hats and make some noise. I hope that whatever you do, you are surrounded by family and friends.
