Materials and Tools
- 8″x 48″ tube form
- Scissors
- Painter’s tape
- Spray paint in the colors of your choice
- Optional: Gift wrap for decorating the bottom border
- 36″ inch balloon (one per popper)
- Kobalt folding saw
- Fine sandpaper
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Confetti of your choice — We added cut-up gold garland for larger, eye-catching pieces!
How to Make Jumbo DIY Party Confetti Poppers
1 — Start by cutting the 8″ x 48″ tube form in half using a Kobalt folding saw. This gives you two poppers from one tube!
2 — Smooth out the cut edges with fine-grade sandpaper to ensure they’re even and splinter-free.
3 — Use painter’s tape to create a design or pattern on your tube. Then, spray paint in thin, even coats until you achieve your desired look. Let the paint dry completely before moving to the next step.
We created 3 different designs for our poppers: one with a bold color block, another with a spiral stripe pattern (achieved by spray painting a solid pink base and taping off stripes for the second coat), and a third in solid gold adorned with metallic gold adhesive dots.
4 — Cut about 1.5″ off the end of a large, 36″ balloon.
Stretch the cut opening tightly over one end of the tube, ensuring it’s secure.
Then, tie a knot at the balloon’s end to create a handle for your confetti popper.
5 — Optional: If you’re a stickler for details like us, you can add a decorative touch by covering the spot where the balloon meets the tube. Use a strip of gift wrap or trim of your choice and secure it with a glue gun for a polished, finished look.
6 — Now, fill the tube with your favorite confetti, pull back on the balloon knot, and let it go to unleash the fun!
These jumbo DIY confetti poppers are guaranteed to bring smiles to your friends and family. They’re simple to make, a breeze to use, and add a literal pop of color to any party or celebration. I hope you have as much fun with them as I do!
