Just before midnight, hand out the fortune-filled balloons to adults along with sewing needles. When the clock strikes 12, have guests pop their balloon to get their fortune for the New Year!

Note: Adult supervision is required when using balloons. Please read all warnings and precautions on the Balloon Time carton.
