Mardi Gras Party Popper
Instructions to make a Mardi Gras popper. A great party favor!

Materials Needed:

  • Toilet Tissue Roll
  • Tissue Paper
  • Tape
  • Curling Ribbon
  • Small gifts for inside your popper
Instructions:
You should use a combination of purple, green, and gold tisue paper and ribbon since these are traditional Mardi Gras colors.

Cut a piece of tissue paper into a 12-inch square. Lay the toilet tissue roll onto the square as shown below. Tape the edge of the tissue paper onto the side of the toilet tissue roll. Roll the toilet tissue up in the tissue paper tightly. Secure the ends with tape.

You should have 3-4 inches of tissue paper hanging off each end of the toilet tissue roll. Cut 2 pieces of curling ribbon, each one at least 12 inches long. Gather the tissue paper on one of the toilet tissue roll and tie it with the ribbon.

Fill you popper (toilet tissue roll) with small candies and trinkets such as beads and plastic doubloons. Gather the tissue on the other end of the toilet tissue roll and tie it with a ribbon. Voila, you now have fun, colorful party poppers!
