Reusable Party Poppers

With New Years Eve coming up, many people will be buying party poppers. These are a fun way of making noise and shooting confetti around the room at the same time. But some party poppers are extra fun because they can be reused over and over. These are usually the variety that activates by turning a dial at the base. They are reusable because they use a spring rather than a fire cracker to propel the contents. 

Here is how you reuse it. Line up the slot on the plunger with the holding key. Press the plunger down with a screw driver. Once the key fits through the slot, turn the dial to lock it in place.

                                                                                               

Then you have a mini launcher to shoot anything that will fit in the tube. You can load it with your own confetti. You can make a mini potato cannon. You can fill it with rice the next time you go to a wedding and launch it at the bride and groom. Use your imagination and have fun.
