Simple DIY Tinsel Projects for New Year’s Eve

Do you have about 10 minutes to whip up something festive for New Year’s Eve tomorrow? Today’s projects take just about that long.

Friend and fellow blogger Stefanie over at Girl. Inspired. shared these super cute DIY party hats with tinsel trim last year and I was a girl inspired! 😉

Super easy DIY Tinsel New Year's Eve projects // Delia CreatesI saw all the tinsel garlands go on deep discount after Christmas, so I snatched up a few swags for just cents and started tinseling all the things!

Stefanie has a free printable template to make a party hat. I went the quick and dirty route and just rolled up some kraft paper until it made a hat shape, then glued it in place before trimming off the rest. It made for some irregular shaped hats, 🙂 so if consistency is your thing, definitely head over to Stefanie’s and print up a template first. She even designed it so you don’t have to glue the hat together!

I cut 2-3 inch pieces of tinsel garland, added a glob of hot glue to the top of each hat, and then kind of pinched the tinsel on top of the glue, while poofing and squishing it into a tinsel pom shape. Really hi-tech here people…. 😉

Glued it all together….

I applied the same gluing and smooshing technique as I did with the hats. These came together super fast and super cute!
