UPCYCLE MONDAY!! Decorating for New Years Party

 

In this new year, tightening our belts for the uncertainty of times does not mean sacrificing beautiful things. God gave us a few basic things, our hands, our brain, and of course, trash that could be transformed into treasures, plus a few things I'm sure most of us haven't put away yet, namely; christmas lights.  



 



 

So, I gathered a few clear bottles, cleaned them out and found this antiquated address labels used in the 80s for the peg printers. You can also use any extra blank labels or anything you come up with, like if you have real star stickers, even better but make sure you are able to remove them easily.

I then drew stars, a lot of stars, cut them and randomly place them around the bottles.

I then took silver spray paint and spray painted all the bottles. they dried quickly so I removed the stickers and voila!! Instant decor accent. I then arranged them on my fireplace mantle, stuck a few led lights inside with some strung outside in between. So the led lights I had is battery operated so no cords but I was just fortunate to have them. You can use white Christmas lights as well.



The rest of the things you see in the photos are paper decorations from party city, cheap ones, 39 cent 8 foot ribbons, cardboard stars you can make and hang yourself, and those vent hoses for the dryer you can get at home depot, cut and connect in a circle and then hung!
