As America’s leading wholesale color powder supplier, we know exactly how to make your color run successful. This guide covers everything you need to know about how to throw color run powder effectively and safely.
Whether you’re organizing a large color run or participating as a volunteer, here are the most effective ways to throw color powder during your event:
Bulk orders of color powder come in one giant bag – making it easy to reach in and throw the powder by hand! This is the perfect method for a larger crowd of people who want to grab a quick handful and have some fun. A handful of color powder creates an amazing spray effect! You’ll notice huge pops of color where the powder concentrates, and softer sprinkles of color everywhere else.
Throwing the color powder by hand is popular with color wars, color runs, and Holi festivals. The color is vibrant, making it perfect for photos.
If you (or your event-goers) don’t want to get your hands dirty, dixie cups are a fantastic option. Dip the cup into a bucket or bag of powder to fill it, and toss it into the air. This is the perfect method for color runs as color throwers can concentrate the powder on the runners instead of themselves. The dixie cup method provides a similar effect to the hand toss, with a little less mess.
Color powder packets work best for throwing the powder in short distances with precision. If you’re going for more of a generalized application, you can also dump the powder directly into your hand. The powder straight from the packet typically gives off a line of color that looks like paint splatters!
The packets are super easy to use – just tear the corner and wave the packet to toss the powder in multiple directions. These are popular for color runs, as it allows each participant to have their own stash of color powder.
One of the most exciting ways to toss color run powder involves a squeeze bottle. Our color powder squeeze bottles come empty, or pre-filled, and make it super easy to squirt participants with a splash of color. The color powder shoots out of the bottle in an epic spray of color, coating the person head to toe in powder. Squeeze bottles are great because you can aim and shoot the spray wherever you want!
While color runs are meant to be fun, it’s also important to keep safety in mind. Our color powder is made of natural ingredients, and safe to use – but we still have a few safety suggestions:
