Time to get popping for New Years Eve fun!
This is a simple popper the kids can make!
For this popper you will need:
Toilet Paper Roll
Tissue Paper
Gift wrap, Tissue Paper, Scrapbook Paper, or any kind of paper really
Balloon
Confetti
Instructions:
1) Place the toilet paper, on end, on the tissue paper. Draw a circle a little larger than the roll, and cut out. Tape it over the end of the roll.
2) Cut a piece of paper (gift wrap, tissue paper, scrapbook paper or any you have around) the length of the toilet paper roll, and wide enough to wrap around it. Tape it in place.
3) Fill the toilet paper roll with confetti. Any kind will do. You can even make your own by cutting tiny squares out of tissue paper.
4) Put a knot in the balloon, then cut a strip off of the balloon tip. Stretch this open end of the balloon over the open end of the toilet paper roll.
When ready to use, poke a hole in the tissue paper end of the tube. Pull back on the knotted end of the balloon, and let go. The confetti will pop out!
Hints and tips:
Do not overstuff the tissue tube with too much confetti. It works best when lightly filled.
Do not use too big of a balloon. You want to be sure you have to stretch it over the end of the tube, and that it has a tight fit.
