As the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, people around the world pick up a pair of New Year’s glasses to celebrate. But how did these classes come to be? Richard Sclafani and Peter Cicero invented the iconic New Year glasses in 1992. Through the years other companies have produced their own versions with a twist. You can find a wide range of styles that include elaborate designs such as LED lights, bottles, and hats. Wearing these festive glasses on New Year’s Eve has become a tradition for many people.
These glasses are made by first creating a design. This design covers the shape of the glasses, color, decoration, and mold. This mold is then injected with melted plastic or sometimes acrylic. After the material is cooled any excess is trimmed and the glasses are assembled, with decorations soon to be added along with glitter, paint, or any other materials. Finally, they are packaged and ready for distribution to retailers, for people to wear and celebrate the new year.
New Year’s glasses are available at various retailers, mostly party supply stores and online marketplaces. These glasses add fun and festivity to celebrations of the new year, making them feel even more special. The energy of the countdown to midnight is amplified by these glasses which often feature sparkly designs with a wide range of colors. Overall New Year’s glasses are a beloved accessory for many people wanting to celebrate the new year.
