Welcome to Kit & Confetti: Your DIY Balloon Journey Starts Here!

Hello, and welcome to the very first post on the Kit & Confetti blog! I’m Tessa Frost, and I’m so excited you’re here to start this colorful new journey with me.

I built a successful balloon side hustle, and now, I’m giving you the keys to do the same. If you’ve ever looked at a massive balloon arch and thought, “ I wish I knew how to do that,” this is your official invitation.

From Party On Waupun to Kit & Confetti

For years, I ran a wildly successful, highly lucrative side hustle right here in our community: a balloon decor business called Party On Waupun. I loved every minute of it—the creativity, the excitement of local events, and the fact that I was creating something beautiful with my own two hands.

Unfortunately, a recent medical ailment has meant I can no longer physically handle the demanding schedule of on-site installations. Quitting the balloon world altogether was never an option; my passion for it is simply too big!

So, I decided to pivot. Instead of creating the decor for you, I’m going to teach you how to create it for yourself.

Kit & Confetti is the evolution of that passion. It’s my way of empowering you with the exact knowledge, techniques, and—most importantly—the confidence that I used to build Party On Waupun into a successful business.

What’s Happening to Party On Waupun?

I know many of you loved ordering from Party On Waupun, and I want to be clear about its future!

The original Party On Waupun social media page isn't going anywhere. In fact, it's becoming my local "garage sale" for practice pieces! Since I'll be constantly creating new balloon installations for the Kit & Confetti tutorials and photo shoots right here in my home, I'll be selling them off locally.

The catch? All you have to do is pick them up yourself! Keep following the Party On Waupun page for posts featuring completed designs that are ready for a home at a great, pick-up-only price.

Why You Can Do It Yourself

I know what you might be thinking: Those huge, gorgeous balloon arches look impossible to make.

I promise you, they are not!

The secret to professional balloon decor is not some rare, expensive talent. It’s in the fundamentals. It’s about understanding the right tools, the correct methods for inflation, and the simple techniques for assembly. When I say it's easy, I mean it. If I can do it, anybody can do it.

That’s why I created the Kit & Confetti DIY Kits. We take all the guesswork out of the process. Every kit is designed to give you everything you need—balloons, equipment, and a roadmap—to create a stunning installation right out of the box.

What’s Next? Our online shop will be selling amazing DIY balloon setup packages!

This blog, along with our social media platforms, is going to be your headquarters for everything balloon. You can expect:

1. Step-by-Step Tutorials: We'll dive deep into the specific techniques you need, from creating a basic garland to designing a massive, show-stopping installation.

2. Kit Spotlights: Detailed guides on how to make the most of your Kit & Confetti purchase.

And I am thrilled to announce an exciting new project! For those of you who want to follow my business path, I am currently writing a short e-book. I’ll be sharing all the mistakes I made running my balloon side hustle so you don’t have to, along with a simple, step-by-step guide to successfully launching your own.

I’m thrilled to be your guide on this exciting, colorful journey. Are you ready to dive into the world of balloon decor and discover your own creative potential?

Let's get this party started!
