I like to go to bed early.

My mother used to say, “5 o’clock comes awfully early in the morning.” Now, I totally understand what she means. So I go to bed at about 9 pm each night.

But, when New Year’s Eve comes, I hype up on caffeine and try my hardest to stay awake because my children expect it. 

As they have grown, their awareness of New Year’s Eve has changed. It used to be just another night. Now, it’s an occasion to party with food, confetti, and fireworks.

Cut the top off each balloon. If it’s confusing on which side is the “top,” I consider the part with the blowing hole as the bottom.

Tie a knot on the blowing end of the balloons.

It’s best to tie the balloon before the other steps.

Stretch the cut end of each balloon over one end of each cardboard tube.

Depending on the size of you balloon, try to pull the balloon up around the tube with at least one inch of the tie remaining loose.

Print and cut apart the free printable confetti cannon wraps.

I personally use a guillotine cutter because I don’t have the patience to cut a straight line. (This is the guillotine cutter I have used since 2012. It never fails me.)

Wrap a printed confetti cannon wrap around each tube, lining the top of the printed wrap to the top of the cardboard tube, and attach with glue.

Use washi tape to cover the seam where the printed wrap meets the balloon.

Use a hole puncher to create confetti from construction paper or buy confetti in the party section of your favorite store. (I used gold star confetti.)
