Balloon Noise Maker
Balloon noise makers are inexpensive, quick and easy to make. They add a festive touch to any party including New Year's Eve and birthday parties.
Note: Keep latex balloons away from babies and young children as they pose a chocking hazard.
Materials:
- Latex Balloon, 12" *
- Three 1/2" jingle bells
- Confetti
- Small paper cup
- 18" piece of ribbon**
* Balloons that are transparent or translucent when inflated work best as they will allow you to see the confetti inside the balloon.
**The ribbon used in our sample is 5/8" wide but you can use a variety of ribbons including curling ribbon.
- Place two or three jingle bells inside the balloon. Stretch the balloon opening slightly if need be.
- Add some confetti to the inside of the balloon. An easy way to do this is to put the confetti into a small paper cup. Squeeze the cup a bit forming a pouring spout and pour the confetti in.
- Inflate the balloon and knot it closed.
- Tie an 18" piece of ribbon around the knot in the balloon.
Shake the balloon and enjoy the festive sound and look.
