It's New Year's Eve and you're desperate for a fun and quick decoration. What do you do?
Grab a large gift bag, tissue paper, Glue Dots® and all those tiny pieces of scrap paper you've been saving all year and let's make a confetti dropper!
 |
| DIY Confetti Dropper for New Year's Eve |
Glue Dots® (Lines, Removable)
large gift bag
rope handles from the gift bag (tied together)
tissue paper
scrap paper
scissors
1. Cut out two large circles from the gift bag. Cut a small circle in the center of one of the large circles (this will be the top circle).
 |
| Tip: Don't have a large gift bag? Try newspaper instead. |
2. Adhere Glue Dots Glue Lines® to the outer edges of the bottom circle to attach the top circle.
 |
| Craft Glue Dots® can be used in place of Glue Lines®. |
3. Cut a circle into the tissue paper (I double layered the tissue paper) slightly larger than the small circle from Step 1. Make a small slit into the center of the tissue paper circle and insert one side of the rope handle. Secure the rope to the tissue paper using a Removable Glue Dot®.
 |
| Make sure you secure the rope to the tissue paper with a Glue Dot®. |
4. Add confetti to the gift bag circle.
 |
| Confetti is the perfect reason to save all those tiny pieces of scrapbook paper! |
5. Tuck the tissue paper into the center of the gift bag circle.
 |
| Almost ready! One more step... |
6. Cover the back of the gift bag circle with plenty of Removable Glue Dots® before attaching to the ceiling. (Shhh...mine is still up and I made this project in November!)
 |
| The Removable Glue Dots® dot runner makes this process even faster! |
When it's midnight, pull the rope and watch the confetti pour down!
