Are you throwing a New Year’s Eve party? Make the party extra festive by adding some finishing touches to your decor!

Countdowns make a fun decor element and coordinates well with the clock theme. You can find directions on making these corkscrew countdown numbers on www2.fiskars.com in their crafting section.
