Does anyone know how to make quality confetti. I am currently paying about $25 per pound. I've tried diamond cut paper shreaders, but they quickly gum up when I shread tissue paper. I'm at a loss...

What are you going to use the confetti for? Can't you make them? I make my own confetti for certain effects. I also make my own mouth coils....

I want to make confetti for the snowstorm effect. I don't know where to obtain the paper or how to cut it. Taping seems easy. I tried "tissue" paper but it is too heavy.

Will it be too expensive if you will just buy snowstorm confetti? The materials that I use is called "Japanese Paper" which comes in different colors. I don't know if this is similar to the "Tissue paper" that you are using?

I think it's more trouble than it's worth to make it yourself. I go through ton's of that stuff .. Throw Steamers, Turbo-Fetti. Just go to the source .. Dave Cressey sold his business to a young man recently. I'm sure someone will chime in with the answer.

I agree with Steve... much too much work to make yourself. It really is worth the time saved to just buy it premade.

If you are looking for new source of your Snowstorm/confetti, throw streamers, I can supply you some made in the Philippines. Send me a pm if you are interested.

I have never got them from here but the price is not bad at all.

I go through 1/2 case of mouth coils per year, and about 10 packs of snow confetti per year. I was planning on doing snowstorm year round, but at three tablets per show, I was looking to reduce costs. I heard that there was some magical way to make your own.

I agree, once I figure out how to do it, I'll probably determine that it is not worth the time.

When you purchase a Kevn James Snow Animator, he provides instructions on how to make your own snowstorms. but...of course...you have to buy the prop!
