🔸 Celebrate good times c’mon! We have all the confetti in separate colors as well as the color mix. The best part is if you want to create your own color mix you can do that too! We sell confetti by the ounce so you can create your own color mix with most colors (pink and cranberry pink cost a little extra by the ounce). So, if you want to add dimension to your thicker slab project or add color to your project without adding weight confetti might just be what you’re looking for.
