DIY Confetti Cones
So, confetti…it’s pretty, it’s fun, you probably want it. Now we’ve established you want the pretty stuff thrown in your direction, this begs the question, “how”? I’m guessing not from a canon, though now I think about it that could be pretty awesome (as long as you’re not standing too close!). This is assuming your venue allows confetti – some don’t, so do check! Also some require you to ensure the confetti you use is bio-degradable; remember, this day might be all about you and your fiance, but we don’t want the environment to have a bad day do we.
There are many creative ways that you can do this part of your day, of course you can stick with the tried and tested ‘grab a handful’ approach, cheap and gets the job done, or even more traditional approach of just assuming people will bring their own. However, if you don’t want to run the risk of only two people remembering to bring any with them, or want to avoid deviant guests that go old-school by throwing rice at you (close your eyes! Ouch!), or even if you’re just particular about your colours, then a hands-on approach may be for you.
Today we’re showing you how to make these cool confetti cones out of old books – an up-cycle win for the environment, look at you go! So pop down to your local charity shop or car boot to get yourself a romance novel.
WARNING: Optional whether you choose to read the novel first, however this DIY will take significantly longer if you do!
Otherwise let’s get crafting…
We’ll be back with you in a few weeks time to show you how to make a base for the cones to sit in, so hit Subscribe on our YouTube page so you don’t miss it.
