3. Lucky Candle Holders
Black eyed peas are considered good luck on new year’s, so why not incorporate those little legumes into your upcycled decor?
Hit the thrift store or maybe even your own cabinets for mismatched teacups or small, pretty rocks glasses. Fill each glass 1/3 to 1/2 of the way with black eyed peas, then set a small soy votive or other small candle into each one. You can scatter your candles throughout the party where you want to add some sparkly.
The candlelight catches really nicely in the ornament trees from the previous page.
Next: Keep the good luck rolling!

The ornament trees look nifty. It's not a good idea to decorate with anything edible if you have pets.
