Take All the Pics With This Gilded New Year’s Eve Photo Booth Backdrop

NYE is here, and we’re celebrating the end of 2016 with a gilded photo booth made out of an unusual supply — mop heads! We fell in love with this shaggy wall covering earlier in the holiday season and used it to decorate a wall in the B+C holiday house. This DIY is super easy — it requires mindless effort and has a painless setup, but it comes at a cost. If you throw NYE parties every year, I would say this photo booth backdrop is the perfect investment. You can store the mops and they’ll be ready for you to hang year after year.

Materials + Tools:

Instructions:

Even though this is a gilded photo booth backdrop, you’ll want to use a yellow spray paint. The gold spray paint on the mop heads will just make it look brown and mucky. No good.

  1. Spray the bottom half of the mop heads with yellow spray paint.
  2. While it’s still wet, sprinkle with glitter. Seal off with glitter sealer.
  3. Once dry, use Command strips to hang mops in a brick-laying pattern on your wall.

While the spray paint is still wet, sprinkle gold glitter all over the bottom half of the mop head.

Spray the mops with a sealer to help hold the glitter in place.

Command hooks are holiday miracles. Stick these hooks on the wall, and for best results, wait a bit before hanging weight on them.

Use pieces of the mop to create a hook for it to hang on. Tie in a double knot.

Hang your mops in a brick-laying pattern. Overlay the bottom edge so you don’t reveal the top of the mop and the Command hooks.

Grab your gang, start taking pictures and toast to a good year.

#selfies are always a must.

2023 was the "Year of the Girl" thanks to Barbie, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift — and it looks like we could be getting another year of all things empowering because Barbie 2 is reportedly in the early stages of development. The movie, which brought in $1.4 billion (yes, BILLION!) worldwide follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they explore the real world, meet Gloria (America Ferrera) and Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt), and deal with everything from existentialism to Will Ferrell & the patriarchy. And we can't get enough.

Here's everything we know about those Greta Gerwig Barbie 2 movie rumors.

A 'Barbie 2' is reportedly in "early stages" from Great Gerwig & Noah Baumbach.

Warner Bros. Pictures

Greta Gerwig is currently gearing up to film her first Narnia Netflix movie during the summer of 2025, but multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the writer-director is in the "early stages" of developing an idea for a Barbie movie sequel. (Even though both Greta & Noah Baumbach's team and Warner Bros. say this is not true). So only time will tell!

The Little Women director has been vocal about only wanting to pursue a sequel should the story be just right, “My North Star is, what do I deeply love? What do I really care about? What’s the story underneath this story?” Greta said in her acceptance speech at Time’s Women of the Year honors (via THR). “If I find the undertow, then we get it. If I don’t find an undertow, there’s no more.”

She also told People ahead of the first film that she hoped the movie "is the launch of a world and a bunch of different Barbie movies."

"There’s a tone and a humor and a joy, and obviously the world is so beautiful," she says. "I want to go back to Barbie Land."

And there's one detail I would love to see from Margot Robbie's Barbie & Ryan Gosling's Ken.

While we're nowhere near learning what Greta Gerwig's potential Barbie sequel could be about, I'd love to see Ken play more of an active role in the second movie. I found it so fascinating that the first movie ended, not only with Ken realizing his entire life revolved around Barbie and that he needed to let her go, but also with Barbie admitting all the women took the Kens for granted.

If we get a Barbie 2, I want to see Barbie flourish alongside Sasha and Gloria, but I'm also hoping we get a peek into the new Barbieland to see how the Barbies and Kens have created a different, harmonious world together. (Although I'm hoping everything's still pink). Who knows — maybe it could inspire some IRL peace and love too. Art is meant to comfort, inspire, and push us to be better, and nobody is doing that better than Greta Gerwig.

When it comes to hosting fabulous parties, creating the ultimate checklist and planning ahead is key. But nobody's perfect, and sometimes you find yourself in need of last-minute appetizers. Luckily, most of us have a can or two of refrigerated crescent roll dough lingering in the fridge, and it turns out it's one of the most versatile ingredients out there. It also doesn't hurt that it's usually vegan!

Stuffed, rolled, or twisted into a festive edible wreath, simple crescent rolls can be turned into surprisingly elegant fare. These 20 recipes will show you just how easy it is to transform them into a variety of meal-elevating apps.

Check out these 21 amazingly easy crescent roll appetizers!

It's The Holiday season — which means it's time to fangirl over Jude Law again. (Although some would argue it's always time to fangirl over Jude Law). His character Graham is a total heartthrob, as well as Iris' (Kate Winslet) big brother, but he's also a single dad to two daughters, which is where he's most swoon worthy, IMO. And the internet agrees that showing Amanda (Cameron Diaz) his dinner party alter ego Mr. Napkin Head is one of the best moments of the film. So it's safe to say that when he recreated the scene with director Nancy Meyers, the internet lost its mind.

Check out the video of Jude Law & director Nancy Meyers recreating Mr. Napkin Head from The Holiday — and teasing a potential The Holiday 2.

Jude Law & Nancy Meyers recreate Mr. Napkin Head.

Jude Law and Nancy Meyers reunited on Thursday December 12 to celebrate Jude getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "Congrats Jude! ⭐️" Nancy said on Instagram. "I was thrilled to be at a lunch for Jude today and I had one question for him…."

While filming Jude from the other side of the table, an off-camera Nancy says, "It’s so great to see you. I don’t think I’ve seen you since we wrapped up The Holiday. Speaking of which. I’ve seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there’s going to be a sequel, what do you think?”

In lieu of a verbal answer, Jude grabs a napkin and glasses and transforms into Mr. Napkin Head. That's not a no, Jude!!! Is this a hint that we'll see Graham again? "For the love of god, please give us a sequel 😩😩😩😩 we are dying without a new Nancy Meyers movie!!!" one user commented, while another says, "We desperately need you back in the director’s chair making another movie."

Jude Law has also revealed he's "love" to do a 'The Holiday 2'!

Jude has said in the past that the possibility for a potential sequel rests with Nancy, so the fact she's playing into the hype definitely gives me hope. “I’d love to see where they’re at,” Jude says on Today. “I’m a yes. You need to check in with everyone else...I'll ask Kate."

“I think Graham still has cardigans and glasses, and reads,” he adds in an interview with E! News. “He’s probably worried sick 'bout the girls, right? The daughters will be 28, 29.”

And in addition to teasing The Holiday 2, Jude Law also recently went viral for revealing The Holiday movie cottage doesn't actually exist — and breaking thousands of hearts in the process!

"So [Nancy Meyers], she's a bit of a perfectionist," he told BBC Radio. "She toured that whole area and didn't quite find the chocolate box cottage she's looking for...She just [rented] a field, and drew it and had someone build it."

But while the outside of the cottage looks like the perfect London Christmas card, the inside was, well...empty. "So here's the funny thing, if you watch it...We were shooting in the winter here," he continues. "And every time I'd go in that door, we'd cut, and we shot the interiors in L.A. about three months later...Just burst the bubble. Sorry!"
