DIY Gender Reveal Confetti Box:

Materials:

Pampers Swaddlers® Diapers, Size 1, 96 Count
Pink or Blue Confetti
Pink or Blue Mini Balloons
Utility Knife
Wrapping Paper
Clear Tape
Scissors
Ribbon

**Safety Warning: Please use caution while using or operating scissors and a utility knife.

Directions:

Open a box of Pampers Swaddlers® and remove the diapers.
Cut off the side tabs of the Pampers Swaddlers® box with scissors. TIP: This will help the confetti and balloons come out easier!
Fill the box with pink or blue confetti and mini balloons.
Using wrapping paper, wrap the box as you would a gift.
Cut down the center of the box, through the wrapping paper, with a utility knife.
Cut two small holes, about a 1/2 inch. from the center of the box, on each side.
Cut two pieces of ribbon and tie each piece to each hole. Make sure to double knot the ribbon.
Using clear tape, lightly tape the top back together. TIP: You just need a few pieces to hold the confetti and balloons in; too much tape and it won’t open!
On the other side of the box, cut two holes to hang the box. String one pieces of ribbon through both of those holes to hang the box.
Pull hard on the two hanging ribbons to release the confetti and reveal your surprise.
