What You’ll Need:
- 9″ Balloons
- Empty Toilet Paper Tubes
- Standard Scissors & Fringe Scissors

- For Decorating – patterned paper, stickers, glitter, etc.
- For Confetti – metallic tissue paper and/or gift bag filler, paper, etc.
Knot the balloon, and cut off the tip. Stretch the balloon tightly around the toilet paper tube, and secure in place with a strip of packing tape.
Use patterned paper, stickers, markers, glitter, etc. to decorate the tubes. For these tubes, we simply wrapped them with scrapbook paper, secured the paper with tape, and added a few star sticker embellishments.
Fringe scissors can quickly turn a bag of gift bag filler into shiny metallic confetti. You’ll want to make at least 3 tablespoons of confetti for each tube.
Add the confetti to the tube – use a funnel or a rolled piece of paper to help guide the confetti into the tube if necessary.
To launch the confetti, pull down on the bottom knot of the balloon, and let go! The confetti with shoot high up into the air with a loud “Pop!”
