DIY Homemade Confetti Poppers

These homemade Confetti Poppers are so easy to make and so much fun! They're perfect for celebrating the 4th of July and New Year's Eve, for a birthday party or any time a celebration is in order!

While a traditional DIY confetti popper is usually made with a toilet paper roll or cardboard tube, this one is made using a plastic water bottle, a balloon, washi tape, and paper confetti.

I like these just a bit more than a paper party popper because the confetti can really be propelled into the air by using the power of the balloon.

A Fun Kid's Craft

This Homemade Confetti Popper is an easy DIY craft that can be made with kids though I would recommend that the cutting of the water bottle be left to the adults. If the littles are good with scissors they can even cut the construction paper confetti, which will be a big timesaver.

When I originally made these with my son he was a little guy and he really enjoyed the process.

Ideas to Customize Your Homemade Party Favors

• A Gender Reveal Party - add pink or blue confetti to poppers and have everyone POP them at once. The water bottle can be covered with wrapping paper, stickers, or tissue paper to hide the color of the confetti inside.
• Tie pretty ribbon around the neck of the bottle covering the mouth of the balloon to give these a bit of a chic touch.
• Glitter! While I don't use glitter because even though I love the look of it. I tend to always...seriously, always, get glitter in my eyes when I use it for crafting. Therefore, I avoid it but you could certainly mix in some pretty glitter with the confetti so your confetti party popper packs even more of a celebratory punch.

3.  Stretch the mouth of a balloon over the bottle opening and pull it snugly as shown.
