DIY Upcycled Confetti

 So one thing I always forget to take to a wedding is....
Confetti!
I'm not on my own here either I have several friends who say they do the same.
So as I am doing this wedding based on my experiences of weddings, I think there is a simple solution for this...
Provide your own confetti!
It is quite simple and it need not cost you anything extra.
Just reuse the left over bits of paper from the making of other things,
An old newspaper or book,
Tissue Paper from the box of your new shoes,
Packaging from things you've ordered for the day...

Some venues will only allow you to use confetti outside the venue and some will only allow it inside so depending on the venues rules can depend on what material you are able to use. 
(i.e. biodegradable material is best ror outside use)
Please keep this in mind. 

What You Need :-
A Hole Punch
Left over materials
Coloured tissue paper
Brown Paper packaging
A Glue Stick
Small Sticky Labels
Rubber Stamp 
(Free from Vistaprint)  

What To Do...

Make the Confetti...
 Simply take the hole punch and punch the paper, saving the shapes and disposing of the rest.
Simples! 

Make the Envelopes...
I have used brown paper packaging from a package I had delivered recently to create these simple envelopes. 
 Cut the Paper into large rectangles, fold, stick and fill with the confetti!

Again...
Simples!
