Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball

Winter

Share it with others!

Most years we get the chance to watch the New York’s Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball drop on TV.  I have been lucky enough to see this ball in Time’s Square and wanted to create our own to celebrate in our home.

For this project I used:

A light up bulb from Dollar Tree

Plastic shot glasses from Dollar Tree (2 packages)

Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue

I started by hot gluing a shot glass onto the bottom of the ball. I worked from the bottom up as the on/off switch was at the top.

I then started hot gluing the shot glasses onto the bulb around the first shot glass in a circle.

I continued adding rows until the whole bulb was full of shot glasses. Turn on the light and it’s ready to glow. I love these bulbs as they change colors too.

You can hang it up you like, or set it on display somewhere.

    Cute! I will most likely be asleep and the fireworks will probably wake me up. If I have a party, I will make this, there is still time . . . ?

      Thanks Naomie and I totally get it! I made this in part so I could count down early too, I’m sure everyone will wake me up – lol.
