New Year Decorative Pieces

Now that New Year is approaching, expert scrapbook makers are all looking to make up scrapbooking embellishments out of old New Year decorative pieces to help save money. After all, spending again after spending so much on the event isn't really a good practice now that the world is in a financial crisis. It's truly a good idea to start buying for New Year scrapbooking embellishments and materials even before Christmas season comes in to avail of all good seasonal promos and discounts. Still, if you're looking for some original pieces straight out of New Year, here are some ideas you can use for your scrapbook.

Confetti

One of the most useful New Year decorative pieces that you can use for scrapbooking embellishments are the confetti. Confetti in New Year is used to throw around especially when the clock strikes 12. Now, confetti as in rice is different from that used in New Year. Creative people may use colorful pencil scraps that can also be used in place of glitter as scrapbooking embellishments. In the same way, others use small cut outs of colored paper - usually neon for brighter appearance at night - as confetti. The colorful cuts can be used to make an unorganized puzzle as a background in your scrapbook.

Party Poppers

Well, because New Year is one big party, party poppers are always used. You can only use these once, but when the Japanese paper is released from the popper, you can use these as scrapbooking embellishments in place of ribbons for your outline and border. Not only do you save money in buying expensive New Year ribbons, you get authentic, easy to use Japanese paper, already cut in strips straight for decoration.
