Handmade New Year’s Eve Poppers

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun!  Another year has passed and Witford has gone through some great changes…. moving showroom locations, technology upgrades, LA expansion and new branding.  Witford is looking forward to 2012 with open arms and looking forward to servicing all our loyal designers.

For this past New Year’s eve we took the advice of Kayla Kitts from HGTV (she posts in entertainment and homemade). She posts about the classic party poppers, how to make them and how they can be a fun and chic favor idea. We made them a couple days ago and she is right… they were easy to make and are just as festive on the outside as they are on the inside.

We used recycled gift-wrap tubing, filled it with cellophane-wrapped chocolates, decorated with ribbon and colored paper. We labeled them by numbers and had our friends draw numbers from a hat.

She also has an amazing cocktail recipe perfect for that classic midnight toast.  Click here to read all about it.

12 Tips for Holiday Entertaining Success

The holiday season is upon us… a time when friends, family and colleagues will be visiting your home. No need to fret, HGTV has some great tips for entertaining success. Host Sandra Lee shares 12 expert tips sure to make your holiday decorating and entertaining a snap.

1. Forgo a traditional floral centerpiece on the dining table and instead create a charming holiday scene featuring gingerbread houses or ceramic Christmas village miniatures. First sprinkle faux snow along the center of the table, then place homes, stores, trees and people to create a focal point that will delight guests of all ages.

2. Rather than rushing out to buy expensive new china, glasses and silverware for a holiday get-together, consider renting it. No matter where you live, chances are there’s a party rental store near you. The prices are reasonable and by renting rather than buying you also avoid having to store the items year after year.

3. A simple way to give your holiday decorations a professionally decorated look is to stick to just two or three colors. Deciding on a palette before you shop makes the selection process quick and easy.

4. Flickering candlelight is beautiful, but if small children or pets will be part of the celebration substitute battery-powered votive and pillar candles for a warm glow without the worries. Flameless candles are a great holiday decorating solution when you want the flame without the fuss.

5. For a custom look that’s easy to achieve, add ornaments, wrapped candies, children’s toys or glittered greenery to a plain wreath. The decorating options are nearly endless and embellishing a wreath is a fun project to do with the kids.

6. Adding a vintage element, such as homemade gingerbread men, hand-strung popcorn or a cranberry garland to your holiday decorations lends a sentimental, old-fashioned feel.
