How to have your cake and eat it – guilt free confetti

Raspberry Ripple Eco-friendly confetti by Rosie and the BoysWhether it’s showering the happy couple with confetti on their wedding day or a ticker tape parade in New York, there is something about those tiny bits of paper fluttering down from the sky that makes them an essential part of a celebration.

Confetti is fun! But it’s not always the most environmentally friendly way to celebrate.

So here’s how you can have your confetti cake and eat it too!

Whenever I create a papercut I generate hundreds of teeny tiny scraps of paper like this (pretty aren’t they). Until relatively recently I had just swept them up into the recycling but then my husband brought home a new product from work and I realised that perhaps I could give these tiny scraps a happier more useful life.

Papercut scraps for eco-friendly confettiNow the proud owner of a heart shaped die-punch I could transform these scraps into frivolous, joyful, romantic and environmentally friendly confetti! I’m delighted to say I also found a supplier of biodegradable glassine bags and biodegradable stickers so the packaging is eco-friendly too!

Because they are created from high quality art paper, this confetti is not only coloured on both sides, its also deliciously thick and the range of papers means I have created some rather luscious colour combinations. Raspberry Ripple, seas greens, summer pastels etc.

At the minute the quantities of confetti are rather small but with each papercut stocks will grow. If you’ve got a wedding or event coming up later in the year and would like me to stock pile certain colours for you feel free to get in touch.

Dragon Fruit Sculpture Tutorial

In honour of St George’s Day we had a knights and dragons themed party for our son and his friends 1st birthday on Sunday.  As promised here is an in depth tutorial. I wanted to make something a little bit different so thought I’d give water melon carving a go. Here’s how to do it if you fancy giving it a try.

And here’s a close up
