The best way to ring in the new year is by popping open a bottle of bubbly champagne once the clock strikes midnight. Why not toast the new year in style by covering a champagne bottle in a sleeve of glitter? All you have to do is coat an unopened champagne bottle in glue and sprinkle on different layers of glitter to create an ombré look. You can also turn your champagne bottle into a gorgeous centerpiece by tying a metallic balloon to the bottleneck and scattering confetti down the middle of your dinner table.
