Confetti is a beloved party luxury around the Pipsticks Studio. Once contraband in our childhoods (for reasons we now well understand as parents), we cannot get enough of it, despite the obvious challenges it poses when it comes to clean up. While New Years Eve is the perfect excuse to make these simple – but extremely efficient and effective – little launchers, they are a great addition to any confetti appropriate occasion (whether a wedding or a Wednesday). They also prove great launchers for other household items…
MATERIALS
Stickers!
Toilet paper / paper towel rolls

Duct tape
Washi tape (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Paint rolls and let them dry.
2. Tie the end of your balloons.
3. Cut the tops off of your balloons. Err on the side of too much on the bottom so you’re sure to have enough to stretch over the roll.
4. Stretch the open end of the balloon over the roll so that the tied end of the balloon is flush with the bottom.
5. Secure with duct tape.
6. Decorate the popper with washi tape and stickers!
TO OPERATE

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ALL THE BEST FOR 2015!
