New Years Eve is always kind of a let down. I hype it up so much and when it comes down to it, it's always lame. Plus, going out is going to cost you $$$. Heading to a club? Be prepared to pay cover charge and for drinks worth a quarter their price. Your best bet is have a few close gals and guys over, spruce up the place to get the atmosphere right, pump the jams and get down to having fun. 

Here are some excellent DIY decor ideas for everyone, whether you're Martha Stewart or your idea of crafting is sticking on a bow and calling it a day:  

Balloons: Easy Level 2

They look super impressive but don't actually require much crafting skills. Try filling your balloons with hellium and attaching photos with awesome moments from the past year. Attach coloured strings, tassels or garland to them for an easy twist. Or simply figure out a few pattern and tape to the wall for a cool design.
