I Made Joanna Gaines’ Confetti Poppers For A Festive New Year’s Eve With The Kiddos

When I think back to New Year’s Eve as a kid, I think about watching my mom get dolled up for a big night out on the town. I’d stay back with my grandparents, watching whoever was performing on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and trying to keep my eyes open long enough to watch the ball drop. I didn’t have cousins or friends who lived nearby to spend the night with, so I missed out on crazy kid parties like the ones you so often see mommy bloggers putting together. Luckily, the little ones in my life today have quite the kid gang ranging from 3 to 7 years old, and they’re excited to spend New Year’s Eve together.

In trying to find some things for them to do, I found Joanna Gaines’ confetti popper tutorial on her Magnolia blog, and I loved the idea! I had some reservations about confetti poppers since they sounded a little like an exploding mess — but if there’s any time for that kind of mess, it’s New Year’s! Plus, I figured that if anyone knows what kids will find fun on the last night of the year, it’s Fixer Upper‘s mom of five. It can’t be easy to keep a brood so big with such a wide range of ages entertained, but Joanna makes it look like second nature.

Before I started mass producing confetti poppers for the big day, I needed to do a test run to ensure proper popping. The poppers didn’t come out perfect on the first try, but with the help of my trusty assistant and resident kid in charge of fun, Lucas, I was able to tweak the method to make sure it’s the most fun for the kids. While putting them together, I realized that making them all ahead of time might actually defeat the purpose and I could maximize the fun by getting the kid gang in on the creation process.
