K Cup Confetti Poppers
Easy
What do you do wtih all those coffee pods and k-cups after you use them? When it's almost New Year's Eve or a birthday, I love to save them up to make confetti poppers!
After use, I toss them into a ziplock bag until I have time to pull off the lids and dump out the leftover coffee and filters. It takes just a knife. I pull the trash can over to the sink and spend a few minutes emptying them.
I let them sit to dry a day or so before I get started making the poppers. I usually put them upside down in rows on a paper towel.
To make the poppers, you need small balloons. The size is usually labeled "Water balloon" size. Then all you need is various confetti.
Once I cut the bottom out of the coffee pod, I add the balloon to the bottom of the coffee pod.
Once they're all together, go outside and celebrate the new year with a shower of confetti. It's easy to just add more confetti as they pop it out of their little k-cup.
These confetti poppers are perfect for little hands. My kids get such a kick out of going outside and popping confetti.

My granddaughter cannot wait to make these. I think I get the instructions. You just stretch the balloon on the bottom of the K-cup and load the inside with confetti. Pulling on the bottom of the balloon pops the confetti up and out. Very cute.
