You could even make a printed strip saying something like “Let’s find out!” or “What will it be?” and wrap it around the poppers. I thought it would be fun to have a white-on-white party so that the confetti would play a big roll with its pop of color but I think these poppers would also look super cute in orange or yellow or whatever color you choose to be the theme of your party. Just make sure everyone knows they are not allowed to open them until the big moment. You can put them in a bowl for everyone to take one or if you are having a sit-down dinner or desert, set one at each place setting. So simple right? Now just repeat these steps until you have enough poppers for each guest or enough for each guest to share with one other person. Tie both ends with a small piece of twine or ribbon. Twist one end of the tissue paper until it seals off the tube creating a small pocket for your confetti. I used two sheets of tissue to insure that no one could see through the tissue paper and see the revealing confetti until the big moment. Wrap two squares of tissue paper around the tube, sticking it carefully to the tape. Cover the outside of your tube with a a strip of double-sided tape.
Now just follow these simple steps to put them together: confetti in blue or pink depending on the sex of the baby.several toilet paper tubes cut into thirds.
several small 5-6 inch squares of tissue paper in gender neutral colors.They are super easy and you probably have all the supplies already on hand.įirst you’ll need to gather your supplies: Sound like fun? Well, here’s how you (or someone you trust with your top-secret information) can make these poppers yourself. Everyone grabs one end of a confetti popper, you count backwards from ten to zero and then when you get to zero everyone pulls their end of the confetti popper and blue or pink confetti flies into the air announcing the big news!!
Imagine a long table with all your favorite people sitting on the edges of their seats waiting in anticipation. I thought it would be fun to make some gender reveal confetti poppers (or homemade “Christmas crackers”) to announce the big news. Why share the ultimate news of whether your baby is a boy or a girl in the clinical setting of an ultrasound appointment or with excited phone calls when you can celebrate that surprise with all your close friends and family in a big ta-da moment? I say, bring on the party! It’s probably the last one expectant parents will be having for a while anyway, you might as well make a big deal out of it.
