DIY Party Poppers

Materials:

Toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls
Scissors
Tissue paper
Double-sided tape
Confetti
Balloons
Packing tape or other strong tape
Decorative paper
Metallic tape

Instructions:

1. Cut the toilet paper roll down to about 3.5 inches.
2. Add double-sided tape along the edge of one end of the roll. Cut a circle of tissue paper, and press it around the tape.
3. Add confetti inside the roll.
4. Tie off a balloon and cut a hole in the top. Stretch the balloon around the roll, so it tightly wraps the roll. Secure with packing tape.
5. Cut decorative paper to fit the roll and tape it around. Add metallic tape at one end.
6. To use, puncture the tissue paper, pull the balloon and release.
