Your Guide to Using Handheld Confetti Cannons

At R&B Confetti, we're more than just confetti cannons. We craft memories. Let's walk through how to use our handheld confetti cannons to create spectacular and joyful moments.

Handheld Confetti Cannons with white confetti

Preparing Your Handheld Confetti Cannon

Our premium confetti and streamer sleeves are designed to maximize the visual impact of your handheld confetti cannon.

Understanding the Effects:

  • Confetti shoots over 35 feet high, creating a wide, shimmering cloud.
  • Streamers soar over 65 feet, unfurling in a dramatic "V" pattern for a majestic effect.

Loading the Confetti or Streamers:

  1. Cut one end of the sleeve open.
  2. Slide the opened end into the barrel.
  3. Either drop the confetti or streamers into the barrel while holding it upright, or pull the sleeve out while simultaneously sliding the contents into the barrel.
  4. Remove the plastic sleeve completely.

Securing the Compression Cap:

  1. Place a compression cap over the end of the barrel.
  2. Secure the cap with black compression tape, wrapping it around the edge of the cap and barrel.
  3. Rub your thumb around the tape to create a tight seal, ensuring maximum pressure for optimal distance. This creates a mini pressure chamber.
  4. The cap and tape also hold the confetti or streamers in place until you’re ready to fire.

Preparing the CO2 Cartridge:

  1. Screw a threaded CO2 cartridge into the trigger assembly until it’s tight.
  2. This ensures the pin will pierce the cartridge when you pull the trigger, releasing the CO2 for a powerful shot.

Firing Your Handheld Confetti Cannon

Positioning and Aiming:

  1. Hold the barrel in one hand.
  2. Aim the cannon upwards at a 45-degree angle in the desired direction.

Triggering the Cannon:

  1. Pull the ring trigger with a firm, straight pull.
  2. Your confetti cannon will fire instantly, releasing a burst of colorful confetti or streamers.

Getting the Best Confetti Shot

Optimal Distance:

  • Stand about 10 feet away from the desired coverage area.
  • The bulk of the confetti will cover the area between 25 and 35 feet out.
  • The confetti will spread wide as it floats.

Enhancing the Effect:

  • For the best visual impact, use confetti cannons on either side of the target area. This will create a breathtaking and captivating effect.

Getting the Best Streamer Shot

Optimal Distance:

  • Stand about 30 feet away from the desired coverage area.
  • The Streamers will blast out and spread wide.

Enhancing the Effect:

  • For the best visual impact, use handheld cannons on either side of the target area to have the streamers fly from both sides. This will create a grand and dramatic effect.
