DIY Party Poppers for Party Favors
DIY Party Poppers — I couldn’t resist putting my own twist on these sweet Surprise DIY Party Poppers from Martha Stewart’s new Kids Crafts Book. Check out the full tutorial!
You know me. I’m always looking for a good reason to bust out some confetti and glitter.
This month’s box of supplies for 12 Months of Martha involved picking out a craft to recreate from her new Kids Crafts Book.
I couldn’t resist putting my own twist on these sweet Surprise DIY Party Poppers. They’re like a miniature version of our Jumbo DIY Confetti Poppers!
Throw in a few cupcakes and colorful suckers. And you’ve got yourself a picture worthy party popper!
Here’s how to make your own for any holiday or party…
Materials Needed To Make DIY Party Poppers
Printed card stock
Glittered card stock
Scissors
Double-sided tape
Glue gun
Twine
Confetti, lollipops, and any other goodies to fill them with
Crepe paper/tissue paper
Printed templates — Templates accompanied by tutorials from the book
*Project adapted from Martha Stewart’s Kids Crafts Book, page 293
Using the printable templates from the Kids Crafts Book extras here, trace and cut the template shapes onto your card stock choices.
Cut a piece of crepe paper 4 by 5 1/2 inches long and tape along the bottom of the rectangular card stock piece on the inside.
Using the crepe paper will make the popper stronger to hold heavier items like the lollipops I used, but you can easily use tissue paper instead.
Once you’ve glued your crepe paper along the inside of the card stock, roll both pieces into a cylinder shape, and secure along the seam with double-sided tape.
Then tie the crepe paper closed with twine to cinch the bottom.
Fold the hal circle template piece into a cone shape, and then secure with hot glue.
Lastly, fill your popper with goodies and then glue the cone over the top to seal the popper.
Once they’re filled and set, place them out for guests to pick up as party favors, thank you’s, or even hide a surprise message inside.
All they have to do is give the paper a little tug from the bottom to find out their surprise!
