Wrap it Up
Generally, when you buy confetti cannons at a store, they are not to pretty to look at. However, you can DIY makeover and turn these ugly but fun party poppers into a wonderful display. In fact, one of the easiest and most ways to do a confetti cannon decoration is to “Wrap it up” with wrapping paper or scrapbook paper of your choice.

But regardless of the color, no-one will notice because they will be having too much fun. DIY wrapping is simple and fun:
- Cut a piece of wrapping paper the length of the cannon. Make sure it is wide enough to wrap around the cannon one time plus overlap approximately 1/4?.
2. Divide your wrapping paper into a top and bottom piece so they can be twisted. For a guideline, use the already existing twisting line on the cannon.
3. Notice which direction the arrows are pointing on the cannon before you apply the wrapping.
4. With double stick tape, adhere the top and bottom pieces of wrapping by rolling it up. Make sure the whole cannon is covered.
5. Using a glue pen, draw on the arrows so the user knows which way to twist.
