A polygonal-shaped confetti (2) having at least one folded portion (8). As illustrated herein the polygonal-shaped confetti is rectangular-shaped confetti that is placed in stacks (1) folded on a first end (3) and/or a second end (4). The folded portions slow the descent of the confetti and cause the confetti to turn, spiral and dance in the air. The confetti is created by cutting material, such as paper, tissue, plastic, mylar and so forth into substantially elongated polygonal-shaped pieces and then folding in the middle or on one or both ends over of the stack. The confetti may then be a storage device such as a bag (10), box, tube, rubber bands and so forth that maintains the shape of the confetti until use.
