[What You'll Need] You Can Make It with Common Materials ♩

The materials are quite simple: please prepare 【a large transparent balloon (a smaller one is okay if you don't have a large one), lightweight and thin colored paper, string, helium gas (or a pump)】. ♩

[DIY] How to Make a Confetti Balloon?

① First, let's make the confetti. Cut the lightweight paper into small pieces that can fit into the balloon. You can cut them into your preferred shapes like hearts, stars, or squares! ♡ It's easy to create with wrapping paper or flower paper that you can get from 100 yen shops like DAISO. ♩

② Put the paper pieces into the balloon. It's easier if you use a funnel, but if you don't have one, you can gradually push them in using a thin stick or something similar to widen the opening of the balloon. ♩

③ After filling it with helium gas (or air), tie it with your favorite string, and it’s done! For a more overseas-style look, you can decorate it cutely with tassels and other decorations! ♡
