Sperm Confetti

Tiny paper pieces cut into a sperm shape

Each piece is cut to look like a sperm, so a scattering of these reads as a joke before anyone looks closely. They are made from lightweight white paper, light enough to lift off a table with a breeze and drift down over people, plates, or glasses. Each piece is roughly 4 cm long and 1 cm tall, with a diameter of about 5.1 mm, small enough to settle into frosting or the folds of a tablecloth.

The white color is plain and neutral. The shapes stand out on dark fabric and sit quietly against most decorations instead of competing with them. Because the paper is so light, a small handful covers a surface quickly.

The confetti works best as a quick prop. Toss a handful across a table, dust a sheet cake, or leave a pile on a desk for someone to find. Its size and paper build mean it can be scattered in seconds.

Quantity and dimensions in each package

Each package holds 15 grams of confetti, about 0.52 ounces, so there is enough to cover a surface several times over.

Scatter a pinch over a frosted cake just before it is cut, so the pieces land in the frosting and along the edges of the plate.
