• Roll of white craft paper
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Today we’re using a large Essentials Bundle box. The first thing you’re going to do is cut off the bottom flaps.
2. Though we don’t like to cover up our delightful Honest box, to make your box look more like a popcorn container, you’ll need to cover the top and sides with white craft paper. We’ll use double sided tape to make the paper stick.
3. Next, use a small plate to cut holes on the top and sides of the box for your child’s head and arms.
4. You can create guidelines for the red stripes using a ruler and pencil, then let your kiddo paint in the stripes with a water-based craft paint. We’ve already completed this step to allow time for the paint to dry.
5. Section by section, put some hot glue on the top of the box and pile on the popcorn. This takes a bit of time, so you have the option to use yellow tissue paper instead.
6. Lastly, we printed large “popcorn” labels to attach to the sides of the box with a few dots of hot glue.

Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend, friends!
