DIY Party Poppers for New Years Eve

Spice up your next new year celebration with these fun homemade confetti cannons. They can be a bit of a mess to clean up with the small pieces of confetti, but your family and guests will love these DIY New Years poppers.

All you need are a few materials to make this new years eve craft, all of which you probably have at home. Here’s how to make DIY New Year’s Eve party poppers. Oh, these are also fun for weddings and birthday parties!

Materials needed for these New Years confetti poppers:

toilet paper rolls
assorted colored tissue paper
colorful confetti
small candies
washi tape, clear gift tape, ribbon
scissors

Here’s how to make a confetti popper with toilet paper rolls

First, you’ll take your tissue paper and unfold it to open it up. Grab your toilet paper roll and, starting at one end of the tissue paper, roll it over a few times or until the whole thing is completely covered. Make sure there is tissue paper hanging off on each side of the toilet paper tube.

Secure one end of your DIY paper popper and add confetti

Next for this confetti poppers DIY project, twist just one of the ends like a piece of candy and tie it with ribbon or tape to secure. Make sure it’s completely sealed!

On the other end of the toilet tissue roll that’s still open, add a couple of pieces of small candies and sparkly confetti. I used a small amount of confetti in each popper for much easier cleanup!

Twist and tie off the other end, like you did the first one, making sure it is completely sealed. Now, you can trim the ends to your desired length and decorate the popper. That’s it!

How to make party poppers actually “pop”

Ok, so how do new year poppers work? To “pop” your homemade paper poppers, pull each end of the paper on both sides of the popper really hard, at the same time. Then… BAM! The confetti goes flying! We hope you enjoy this fun craft.

Note: The gold and white party popper pictured here was made out of wrapping paper. You’ve gotta pull this one a little bit harder to pop, but it still works! The DIY new years eve party poppers made out of tissue paper are much better for kids as they are easier to “pop”.
