DIY Post-it Note Confetti

This idea is so simple that I almost didn’t post it (pun not intended haha). But sometimes when I’m photographing a project I’ll think at the last minute that confetti would be a nice touch. Usually I’m rushing to get good pictures before the light changes or a certain cutie wakes up from his nap, so I don’t always have much time.

So I started cutting up Post-it Notes to make confetti and it works perfectly. The paper is colorful, and such a great thickness. Plus since they are already pretty small, you can make a whole lot of confetti in literally 5 minutes.

 

What you do:

1. Start by pulling off about 10 sheets of Post-it notes. You could really use as many as you could easily cut through at one time. Fold over the top sticky part to make a line. You don’t want any of the sticky in your confetti.
2. Cut vertical lines across the notes that are evenly spaced. You could play around with different sizes and shapes of confetti, but I made little squares. Cut all the way up to the folded line.
3. Now turn the notes and start cutting horizontal lines. Your confetti will fall off into a pretty little pile. Stop cutting before you reach the folded line.

And that’s it. Seriously this post-it note confetti is fastest project ever. It would even be perfect for party decorations, or to use as a photo prop like I do. If you’re interested in making some more complex varieties of homemade confetti, check out this post.
