Hi friends,
We’re sharing our Celebrating Three With Confetti in honor of All About Hope’s third birthday, but we also offer other numbers and fun ideas for your celebrations. COVID has changed much of what we do and how we do it, but we’re going to celebrate every positive despite such uncertainty. Our founder is working on a fun, social-distanced kind of way, so keep an eye out for how that gets accomplished later this month on Facebook and Instagram! Until then, check out our celebratory 3!

CONFETTI Fold over the piece for quicker punching* Skip this step if you have confetti
Punch 10-20 holes per color, per sheet, and empty the hole punch out regularly.
Place all the confetti into the small container.
*Thicker pieces provide more effect and depth. If you prefer a flatter appearance, separate the confetti.
3. Mix your confetti up.
GLUE
Add 1 -2 large squirts of glue to 1 TBSP of water in a small container and mix.
Brush the thinned-out glue on the three, working in sections, and sprinkling the confetti as you go.
Apply more glue and confetti where needed. Let dry 5-10 minutes.
That’s it!!
