What if your mood could be turned into jewelry? That’s exactly what these confetti badges do.
Packed with glitter, pom-poms, sequins, and cheeky words, they’re like tiny mood boards pinned to your outfit.
You’re not just crafting here, you’re creating little pieces of wearable self-expression.
Each one feels unique, colorful, and unapologetically fun. It’s hard not to feel a spark of joy every time you look at them.
Materials Needed
- Round badge bases (plastic or cardboard, 2-3 inches wide)
- Assorted confetti and glitter (about ½ cup mixed)
- Mini pom-poms (12-15 pieces per badge)
- Alphabet beads or stickers for words
- Hot glue gun + glue sticks
- Decorative charms or mini figurines (optional, 2-3 pieces)
- Pin backs or brooch clasps (1 per badge)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Choose your base. A simple cardboard circle or a pre-made badge base works perfectly.
Step 2: Spread a thin layer of glue over the top and sprinkle your glitter and confetti mix until the surface is completely covered. Let it dry.
Step 3: Add a border with mini pom-poms or sequins to give your badge extra dimension and pop. Glue them securely around the edge.
Step 4: Spell out your message with alphabet beads or stickers. This could be funny, sassy, or sweet, it’s your call!
Step 5: For a playful touch, glue on a charm, tiny toy, or rhinestone to make your badge truly one-of-a-kind.
Step 6: Attach the pin back to the reverse side, wait for it to set, and your badge is ready to wear or gift.
Tips:
Keep the words short and punchy, two to four words usually look the best.
And don’t be afraid to go over the top; with glitter and confetti, more is always more.
