In a world where sustainability is key, why let celebrations add to the problem?
Traditional confetti can be harmful and messy, but making homemade confetti from leaves is a beautiful, eco-friendly solution.
Not only is this method simple and fun, but it also brings a touch of nature to your special moments.
Materials Needed
You’ll need to prepare:
- Fallen leaves
- Shaped punch
- Container
How to Make Leaf Confetti
Step 1: Collect Your Leaves
Look for dry, colorful leaves in your yard or local park.
When you get home, lay them flat to dry. If needed, press them under heavy books overnight to ensure they don’t tear during punching.
Step 2: Punch Out Confetti
Grab your punch and start creating confetti shapes from your leaves.
Then, scoop your confetti into a container as you go, and before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful, eco-friendly batch ready to sprinkle!
Step 3: Easy, Earth-Friendly Clean-Up
Once the party’s over, just toss any leftover confetti into your garden or compost – it’s completely biodegradable.
No sweeping up plastic or paper bits; nature does the work for you!
My Experience with Leaf Confetti
Making leaf confetti was one of the most rewarding projects I’ve done. It’s so relaxing and brings a bit of nature to your celebrations in a thoughtful way.
My heart-shaped confetti was a hit at a small gathering, and cleanup was as simple as letting nature take its course.
