DIY Confetti Containers
I know I wasn’t the only one going crazy for the adorable Michigan wedding we featured last week. Besides being ridiculously charming, it was loaded with sweet, steal-worthy details that could easily be translated to any wedding style.

Well, fortunately for all of us, the bride was kind enough to stop by with a super do-able DIY project for the darling little confetti containers she made for her own wedding. From Sarah…
PAPER FUNNELS FOR CONFETTI OR ROSE PETALS
Materials needed:
Thickish Paper (I used the luxe fino cream cover weight paper from paper source)
Double stick tape
Xacto Knife or Paper cutter
Ink Jet printer
1. I used the creme paper from Paper-Source and printed a pattern on both sides of an 8.5″ x 11″ paper. However you could also use any two sided patterned paper (usually found in scrapbooking supplies)
2. Cut the paper down to 6″ squares.
3. Dog ear the paper on one edge about 1″ in, so that the folded part runs to a point at the corner.
4. Run double stick tape along the folded edge.
5. Take the opposite corner from the folded edge and the most folded in corner and bring them together. (then press down so the double stick tape sticks)
6. Then create your labels. I again printed on plain paper.
7. Cut the labels out. (mine say… After “I Do” Please shower the newlyweds as they walk down the aisle)
8. I used double stick tape to then adhere the labels as well.
9. Then fill them with confetti or rose petals. I had them in baskets for people to pick up at the ceremony.

This is a great idea!
Cute! Does anyone know where floral pattern she printed can be found?
That's super cute and since I'm a paper fiend...I greatly approve!
Soooo cute! Confetti is TOTALLY in style. :)
wow! amazing :D
also wounder where can i find the floral pattern bride printed.
it's really cute!
For a paper novice like me, anyone know what this means?
"Dog ear the paper on one edge about 1″ in, so that the folded part runs to a point at the corner."
Anyone else lost?
These are absolutely adorable...I did a version of these for my own wedding. Solid pink paper filled to the brim with fresh rose petals for guests to toss:

I love the bridesmaid dress, can you tell me where those are from?
Pretty sure they're from Anthro.
The yellow dresses are from Anthropologie. The pattern is my own, however scrapbooking paper is a great place to find small floral prints. Moryka - the Dog ear is like you would to save a page while reading a book, however instead of just folding over the top corner have the fold run the entire length of the side of paper. The fold should be 1" over at the top and then go to a point at the bottom. I hope that helped to clarify.
What kind of software did you use for the pattern and the labels? I am a DIY newbie and am considering making my own invitations, programs, etc. but I am not a graphic designer! Any advice would be appreciated.
so cute. great for a wedding and what about welcoming the birthday boy/girl into the room?
Great paper design, love the DIY project idea.
The modern computer, software like CorelDraw and the modern full colour printer has really brought the print shop into the home. Just remember that the inkjet printers' inks are water based, and will run if it encounters moisture. The best trick is to laminate over your printed menus or in this case confetti holders with clear self adhesive vinyl that you can buy at any craft shop or signage supply company.
Another great way to shower the bride and groom as they exit! Confetti may be a little messy post-throwing, but it looks wonderful in action in the pictures!
