DIY CONFETTI

Raid the store cupboard and throw something sweet or savoury in, such as chocolate or nuts. They always go down well and provide a tasty treat.

Let the kids do the heavy lifting with a crafternoon making paper crowns and jokes to go inside. It’s a good excuse to get creative together.

Make your own confetti using coloured paper (old wrapping paper or wallpaper samples will do) and a hole punch. Couldn’t be simpler.
