Étape 1 - How to Make Party Poppers
Party poppers are a delightful way to add an extra burst of fun to any occasion. Whether it's a birthday, wedding, or New Year's Eve celebration, these colorful and confetti-filled surprises can make your event even more memorable. Making your own party poppers is not only easy but also allows you to customize them to fit the theme of your celebration. In this guide, we'll walk you through the supplies needed, the step-by-step process, and some creative ideas on how to use them.
Supplies Needed for DIY Party Poppers
Before you begin crafting your party poppers, gather the following supplies:
- 1 empty paper towel tube or tissue paper roll: This will serve as the main body of the popper.
- Glitter, confetti, and small party favors: Fill your poppers with glitter, fortunes, horoscopes, confetti, mints, funny notes, chocolate coins, or small party favors.
- 12-by-12-inch piece of wrapping or tissue paper: Choose a paper that matches your event's theme or color scheme.
- Scissors: To cut the cardboard tube and wrapping paper.
- Glue gun or tape: Secure the wrapping paper around the tubes.
- Ribbon: Add a decorative touch and help secure the ends of the popper.
Step-by-Step Directions for Making Party Poppers
1. Prepare the Cardboard Tubes
Begin by cutting the cardboard tube in half. Next, cut one of the halves in half again, leaving you with three smaller tubes of different sizes. These will form the body of your party poppers.
2. Fill the Tubes
Now that you have your tubes ready, it's time to fill them. Add glitter, confetti, and any small party favors you’ve selected. The contents will create the "pop" when the popper is used, so be sure to pack them well but not too tightly.
3. Wrap the Tubes
Lay your 12-by-12-inch piece of wrapping paper face down on a flat surface. Arrange the three filled tubes in an even row at the edge of the paper, leaving about a 1/2-inch space between each tube. Carefully glue or tape the edge of the wrapping paper along the length of the tubes to secure them in place. Roll the paper over the tubes until they are fully wrapped, then trim any excess paper, including from the ends of the tubes.
4. Add Finishing Touches
Gently twist the wrapping paper at the spaces between the tubes to create the classic party popper shape. Secure each twisted section with a piece of ribbon for a festive look. The ribbon not only adds flair but also helps hold the popper together.
5. Display and Use Your Party Poppers
Your party poppers are now ready! You can add them to your table settings, place a bunch in a large glass bowl as a centerpiece, or hand them out to guests right before the big moment.
Tips and Variations for Creative Party Poppers
- Easy Breakage: Before giving the poppers to your guests, use a pin to poke holes around the edges of the tube. This will make it easier for the popper to break open when pulled.
- Size Variations: For smaller poppers, use cardboard tubes from wrapping paper rolls instead of paper towel tubes.
- Personalization: Create a personalized look by wrapping the tubes with color copies of family photos or images that match the theme of your event.
Where and How to Use Party Poppers
Party poppers are versatile and can be used in various types of celebrations. Here are some ideas for where and how to use them:
1. Birthday Parties
Party poppers can be used when the birthday person makes a wish and blows out the candles. Alternatively, they can be given out as party favors to guests as a fun takeaway.
2. Weddings
Instead of the traditional rice or confetti, guests can pop party poppers during the newlyweds’ send-off, creating a spectacular photo opportunity.

Fill the poppers with pink or blue confetti for a fun and interactive way to reveal the baby's gender to family and friends.

6. Holiday Gatherings
