How do I make the confetti in a gender reveal confetti cannon more glittery?

Hey there! As a supplier of gender reveal confetti cannons, I've been getting a lot of questions lately about how to make the confetti inside these cannons more glittery. It's no secret that a bit of extra sparkle can take a gender reveal party from ordinary to extraordinary. So, I thought I'd share some tips and tricks on how you can achieve that super glittery look for your confetti.

First things first, let's talk about the type of confetti you're using. There are several different kinds out there, but not all of them are created equal when it comes to adding glitter. The most common types of confetti are paper, plastic, and metallic. Paper confetti is the most traditional option, but it doesn't hold glitter as well as plastic or metallic confetti. Plastic confetti, on the other hand, is more durable and can be easily coated with glitter. Metallic confetti already has a shiny finish, but you can still add extra glitter to make it even more eye - catching.

If you're using paper confetti, one way to make it more glittery is to use a glitter spray. You can find glitter sprays at most craft stores. Just lay your paper confetti out on a flat surface, preferably outdoors or in a well - ventilated area, and give it a light coat of glitter spray. Make sure to shake the can well before spraying and hold it about 6 - 8 inches away from the confetti. Let the confetti dry completely before using it in your cannon. This method is quick and easy, but the glitter may not adhere as strongly as you'd like, so it might come off a bit during storage or when the cannon is fired.

Another option for paper confetti is to use a glue and glitter mixture. You can mix some craft glue with glitter in a small bowl. Then, use a small brush to apply the mixture to the paper confetti. This method gives you more control over how much glitter is added and tends to make the glitter stick better. However, it's a bit more time - consuming as you have to apply the mixture to each piece of confetti individually.

For plastic confetti, you can use a glitter glue. Glitter glue is thicker than regular glue and has glitter already mixed in. You can simply squeeze the glitter glue onto the plastic confetti and spread it around with a small brush. The glue will dry clear, leaving the confetti covered in glitter. This is a great option because the glitter is less likely to fall off compared to using a spray.

If you're using metallic confetti, you can add extra glitter by using a glitter powder. You can buy glitter powder in a variety of colors and sizes. First, apply a thin layer of clear craft glue to the metallic confetti. Then, sprinkle the glitter powder over the glued confetti. Tap off any excess glitter, and let the glue dry. This will give your metallic confetti an extra layer of sparkle.

Now, let's talk about the quality of the glitter. Not all glitters are the same. There are different sizes, shapes, and colors of glitter. For a really glittery effect, I recommend using a combination of fine and coarse glitter. Fine glitter gives a more uniform sparkle, while coarse glitter adds a more dramatic effect. You can also mix different colors of glitter to create a unique look. For example, if it's a boy - themed gender reveal, you could mix blue and silver glitter. For a girl - themed party, pink and gold would be a great combination.

When it comes to storing your glittery confetti, make sure to keep it in a sealed container. This will prevent the glitter from falling off and keep the confetti in good condition until you're ready to use it. You can also add a bit of tissue paper or bubble wrap to the container to protect the confetti from getting crushed.
