9 DIY balloons dipped in confetti
Confetti is always the real evidence of celebration and no matter how old you are, you will always feel excited every time you find yourself in the middle of falling confetti, screaming your heart out for joy.

Ok, here is what you need to do; purchase a set of balloons, glue and, of course, lots and lots of confetti. Probably, you have guessed what is going to happen next, for it is plain easy; apply a thin layer of the glue at the bottom of the balloon, and make sure it is applied evenly for getting a perfect result, and then start picking a handful of confetti and stick them to the balloon.
