Lady sprays paint through colanders. People cannot stop sharing this New Year idea

As the New Year approaches, adding bold, creative decorations can instantly elevate your celebrations. One DIY project that’s capturing attention everywhere is the creation of “firework jars”—made using nothing more than spray paint and a simple kitchen colander.

This fun, easy project produces stunning decorative jars that mimic the look of colorful fireworks frozen in motion. Perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, festive dinners, or seasonal décor, these jars make eye-catching centerpieces and cheerful accents throughout your home.

Firework jars can be styled in multiple ways. Use them as statement pieces on a dining table, line them along a mantel, or scatter them across shelves for bursts of color. Pair them with fairy lights or LED candles to enhance their glow and create a warm, celebratory atmosphere. For a cohesive look, choose colors that complement your décor—or go bold with vibrant hues for a lively, party-ready feel.
