Cheap Biodegradable Confetti?

Discogod

we've already got some little bags & now just want to find a place that sells a big bag of confetti on its' own. Can anyone please recommend me a place to buy this? Most places online just sell cones/bags of confetti at too high a price!

We've got about 40 guests & have got 4/5 bubble bottles too

:jany advice really appreciated:j

You can buy bags of confetti from https://www.daisyshop.co.uk - a 1Kg bag costs around £30 but contains enough for 100 handfuls and half kilo bag is around £22 and would contain enough for 50 handfuls dependent on the flower type because for some a kilo bag contains enough for 60 handfuls and can cost around £22 so there is a variance in prices too.

There is lots of choice with regard to natural petals which a biodegradable. Another option would be to use rice.

Im making my own out of dried rose (and a few other flower) petals.
Taking a while, but lovely....and free! Think there was a thread on it on this board recently

Horace, great link found this http://www.daisyshop.co.uk/shop/article_11.001/Delphinium-petals-throwing-quality.html?shop_param=cid%3D43%26aid%3D11.001%26 at only £5.99 for a litre, not sure what that would translate into handfulls though!!

frannyann...a litre is equivalent to 3-4 handfuls so not a lot.

I started the other thread. I am drying my own as well. It just gets chucked! Ask around, someone will have some rose or other suitable bushes you can use. x

I bought mine off ebay from a woman who makes it, she has different shapes and most colours. pm me if you would like her name etc. X

I have just come across megapartybags.co.uk they have degradable confetti for just 40p per box. Delivery goes by weight, pricing starts at £3 with max being £6.50. I have just ordered some along with some loveheart lipsticks (just 12p each). :T

Ignore this - i've actually just found out from the suppliers of the confetti that it's not biodegradable! Sending it back.
