Classic Hats and Champagne
You don't have to spend a fortune on your party but you can look like you did. Adding a few classic top hats (which you can pick up at any party supply store fairly cheap) and some champagne classes is a great way to throw a hit party. Champagne glasses are also available at party supply stores and you can get several plastic ones in a package for under $5. Tutorial/Idea – Catchmyparty
Confetti
You simply have to have confetti to ring in the New Year. If you have a small table or even a fireplace mantel, you can set up a mini confetti station with everything that your guests need when the ball drops at midnight. Place small plastic glasses or boxes filled with confetti and remind everyone to visit the station shortly before midnight so that they can throw their confetti when the New Year arrives.

Glittery Centerpiece
Again, you don't have to spend a fortune to throw a grand party. You can easily make a centerpiece using old glass soda bottles. Just wash the bottles and spray paint with black and then glittery silver or gold paint. Make glittery numbers for the bottles using cardboard so that you can officially announce the arrival of 2014. This is a quick and easy centerpiece project and you can add a few silver and gold Christmas decorations to really make it look spectacular. Tutorial/Idea – Atozebracelebrations
Rainbow Wreath
If you are looking for easy (and cheap) decorating ideas, a wreath made from colorful drink umbrellas is a great choice. If you don't already have the umbrellas on hand, you can pick them up at most party supply stores for very little. Just arrange them around a metal wreath base or create your own base if you want. You can customize the wreath for the New Year by adding 2014 in the center in glittery numbers or just any way you want.
Easy Decorations
Make your table or other display look beautiful with Christmas ornaments that are decked out for New Year's Eve. If you have glass or plastic vases (or really large glasses) you can just fill them with leftover Christmas decorations to make them look really festive for the New Year. Red and black are dramatic colors that look wonderful for New Year's parties. Tutorial/Idea – Tablespoon
Decorative Garland
Garland is not just for Christmas decorating. You can use silver and gold (or other colors if you want) decorations to make a wonderful garland for your New Year's Eve party. You just need a few Kraft tags, some silver or gold twine and old wallpaper or stickers that match your color scheme. This is a really easy project that takes very little time and you may have supplies on hand already so it's also really inexpensive. Tutorial/Idea – 100layercake
Party Hats
Party favors aren't really that expensive but when you make them yourself, they are virtually free. You can make adorable party hats using plastic cups, a little twine and some silver tinsel garland. Just add the twine to hold the cup on your head and decorate with silver tinsel using your hot glue gun. These take very little time to make and your party guests will love them.

Glitter Flats
You don't have to buy new shoes to be the hit of your party. You can easily make your own sparkling, fun glitter flats to wear to any New Year's party. You just start with basic flats and then add a coat of glitter paint and a couple of coats of Mod Podge. Once that dries, add some glaze spray and you have wonderful glittery shoes for your celebration. You could also add a glittery bow or other decoration to make them really festive.

Sparkling Cupcakes
When you plan your party menu, consider adding festive sparkling cupcakes. You just have to bake and ice your favorite cupcakes and then dress them up a bit with tiny sparklers. Light the sparklers around midnight and your dessert will be the hit of the party. You can also do this with a larger cake if you prefer but the cupcakes gives every guest his or her own little sparkling gift to ring in the New Year. Tutorial/Idea – Simplyseductive
Make It Glitter
Adding gold glitter makes every New Year's Eve party a hit. You can add glitter to your food or your decorations. You can also use Christmas decorations that have gold to add a bit of extra sparkle without worrying about overspending on your decorations. You can easily decorate any table with glass bowls filled with gold beads or use gold garland from your Christmas collection. Tutorial/Idea – Thecakeblog
Go Pink!
Pink metallic, that is. Pink metallic is a great decorating theme and you can find so many different ways to incorporate your decorations. Add pink sparkly stir sticks to your drinks, cut out stars and make them pink and sparkly – the possibilities are endless. You can find most of what you need at your local Dollar Store and then just add your own unique pink touch. Tutorial/Idea – Pizzazzerie
Countdown Clocks
You simply have to have countdown clocks at your party. You can make them from cardstock or larger paper umbrellas and combine them with adorable cork props. Just grab a few old corks (or buy new ones at your local craft store) and add the countdown numbers. This is a great idea for an easy (and cheap) centerpiece that is sure to get loads of attention.

Glitter Party Hats
You can make adorable party hats with a paper mache cone, Mod Podge, a little glitter and some tinsel garland. These are great for kids if you are planning a family themed party but adults will love them too. Choose one color scheme or make them in different colors, it's your choice. They are easy to make and you can hold them on with a headband or elastic. Tutorial/Idea – Studiodiy
Glitter Heart Cake Topper
Whether you are planning on a cake or cupcakes, you can decorate the tops with an adorable cake topper that is glittery and festive. You just have to cut hearts out of construction paper or card stock and then add your glitter. Glue them onto wooden skewers and add them to your desserts. You can decorate the skewers with glitter as well to make them really festive and if you want to mix and match the colors, you can create a really gorgeous dessert display. Tutorial/Idea – Paperpony
