Hello there – Jessica here from The Confetti Bar, the coolest confetti shop on the block, where we believe happiness should be celebrated! You’ve already seen me do goodie bags, party cups, a colorful tray, and even balloons.

You basically have everything for a confetti party with the tutorials I’ve done so far. You’ve even gotten a confetti pineapple for your centerpiece (I know, it was wacky!).

Since I believe everything is more fun with confetti on it, sending a cute note is no exception. These confetti envelopes are extremely easy to make, because just about everything with confetti is easy to make.

Mod Podge Matte, pink plate, envelopes, confetti, and a foam brush

Supplies:

  • Cute envelopes
  • Confetti!
  • Mod Podge Matte (You can use any kind, really, but if you want to get a little extra fancy, try some Sparkle Mod Podge so you get a subtle glitter effect behind the confetti!)
  • Sponge brush (+ a plate to pour the Mod Podge to dip your brush for easy application)

Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the bottom of your envelope.

Sprinkle some confetti on to cover the area, gently “pressing” it down so you get a decent layer to stick. Shake off the excess confetti and let dry.

Seriously, that’s it! But look how happy and cheerful these DIY envelopes are! 🙂

Kathy if you do that I would put it in another envelope. I'd be scared to jam up the postal service machines with the confetti and make someone go postal. Which I wouldn't blame them :0
