Here is a peak at The Yellow Spectacle's interview with the Queen of Confetti:
The Yellow Spectacles: How did you get started in making confetti?
The Confetti
Bar: Confetti…it’s like the quintessential symbol for celebrations, right? It’s
colorful and whimsical and fun and magical – everything you generally want a
party to be. So why not really make it something special?...
Well
that’s what I thought when I decided to start The Confetti Bar! I literally
woke up one day and told my husband I wanted to open a confetti shop, and
that’s how this all began.
TYS: How do
you actually make confetti? With a machine, by hand etc?
TCB:
Depending on what we need to make / what look we are going for we utilize a
variety of methods for making confetti - anything from scissors to shredders to
specialty machines, we use it all! While we mainly use machines to do the
actual cutting, I've been known to sit there with a pair of scissors and cut
out teeny tiny shapes if necessary!
TYS: Did you
have any support...family....friends...

TCB:
I could and would not be where I am today without the help and support of my
family. My husband has been my business partner from day one, and despite
looking at me like I was crazy when I first told them my idea, my mom and step
dad have been instrumental in allowing me to pursue this full time and getting
our new studio space.
TYS: Why do
you love what you do?
TCB:
Because I get to make people happy sharing what I love.
TYS: Do you do
more than just confetti?
TCB: Personally
I wear many hats - I also co-own another business, Monarch, in which we host
creative workshops for women, and I also recently started up a personal blog
called Simple Unsweet to chronicle my health and wellness journey.
TYS: What are your plans for your new work space?
TCB: With our new studio we've got big plans - think more awesome photo shoots,
confetti
filled events, craft nights, more offerings, and all around confetti-filled fun
times!
TYS: Describe
your career in three words:
TCB:
Magical. Challenging. Rewarding.
TYS: If you
had to make A Yellow Spectacles (my blog) confetti what would it look like?
TCB:
Just going by the name, I see a mix that is mainly black and white with some
actual yellow glasses shapes mixed in!
TYS: The
best part of your job….
TCB: I
absolutely love any time someone tells me that seeing my photos or receiving my
product made them happy. It’s cheesy and corny, but it’s the truth! Confetti is
supposed to be fun, so when I hear that it made someone smile it lets me know
I’m doing something right!
TYS: The
worst part of your job….
TCB: Having
to worry about finances - I’m not a numbers gal, but I've had to learn pretty
quickly all about things like bookkeeping, accounting, taxes, etc. etc. No fun,
but necessary!
TYS:
DITTO!
TYS: If
you weren't a mixologist you'd be a ……
TCB: Unicorn.
TYS:
LOL!
