this year, we're planning a noon year's eve party for our kiddos...when the clock strikes noon, we'll celebrate with milk and cookies! inspired by our happy everything collection, we thought it would be super fun to make some festive confetti-filled party crackers for our littles to pop open at noon!

MATERIALS

• crepe paper
• tissue festooning
• cardboard tube (paper towel or gift wrap tubes are perfect!)
• twine
• confetti
• scissors
• glue gun

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

cut a piece of crepe paper 4 inches longer than the cardboard tube on each side, and wide enough to wrap around the cardboard tube with about 1/2 inch of overlap. cut a slit in the center of the cardboard tube about halfway around to make it easier to break open.

STEP 2

wrap crepe paper around the tube and secure with hot glue. tie off one end with twine and fill with confetti. once the tube is filled, tie off the remaining end.

STEP 3

decorate each end of the tube with tissue festooning and secure with hot glue. you're ready to celebrate!
