How to Make Photography Confetti

When taking photos a bright, white background creates a high energy and distraction free scene focusing the viewer’s attention to the main object in the photo; but sometimes using a white background can be difficult when you have a white or clear object. To remedy this, I had the idea to add confetti to the white background in order to create some type of contrast between the background and the object being photographed. If you would like to know how I made the sparkly confetti in the picture below, just continue reading.

MATERIALS
 prismatic scrapbook paper, single hole punch and shape punch of your choosing

There is only one-step for this whole project. Just take the prismatic scrapbook paper and punch either single holes or shapes. After you have created a nice little pile of punches, simply spread them over your white background and place the white or clear object that you want to photograph on top.
