DIY Homemade Confetti Backdrop

This post is sponsored by the fabulous Michaels, but my love for Michaels is all my own!

I’m so excited to share my latest paper craft creation with you today!

I’ve teamed up with Michaels for their 14 Day MAKE-A-THON to show you how to make a DIY Homemade Confetti Backdrop.

As you know, I’m big into backdrops (like my FOOTBALL BACKDROP, this DIY BACKDROP IDEA and this JINGLE & MINGLE BACKDROP) and I’m a firm believer into putting effort into a large statement craft to make a party fabulous.

This particular backdrop is actually pretty easy to make and brings so much color to a party. It’s the perfect focal point. All that is required to make the backdrop are lots of homemade confetti, a large jar of rubber cement and time!

I love how it turned out and can see me using this idea for baby/bridal showers, weddings, bulletin boards and photo-booths (in all different colors of course).

MATERIALS FOR CONFETTI BACKDROP

Colored Paper Cardstock
Cricut Explore Air 2 or 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 inch circle punches
Rubber Cement
White Backdrop Paper 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFETTI BACKDROP

• Cut 24, 3 inch circles in 6 different colors. I used my Cricut Machine, but circles punches work great too.
• Cut 24, 2 inch circles in the same 6 colors.
• Cut 24, 1 inch circles in the same 6 colors.
• Cut handfuls of rectangles in each color. Shape and size as desired.

• Start glueing the 3 inch circles across the top of the backdrop paper.
• Layer the circles as you work down the backdrop (going from large circles to small).

• Stagger less and less, smaller circles as you get to the bottom of the paper.
• Add a few rectangle confetti pieces according to your liking.

• Let dry and hang!
