Show your appreciation to a teacher with a decorative popcorn treat. Give it alone, or add a pair of movie tickets to show even more appreciation to the teacher who has guided, taught, and nurtured your child all school year.
Here's what you need:
- Removable Glue Dots®
- Pop Up Glue Dots®
- Craft Glue Dots®
- Jiffy Pop popcorn
- Card stock (color based on preference)
- Paper flowers (from the Eyelet Outlet)
- Sticky Back Bling, various sizes (from the Eyelet Outlet)
- Black ink
- Stamps (Stamps shown here from Pretty Cute Stamps)
- Ribbon to coordinate with papers and flowers
- Sizzix eClips or other electronic cutting machine (optional)
- Scissors
Here's what you do:
- Cut a 7" circle out of card stock using an electronic cutting machine. (If you do not have a machine, find a lid or plate that measures 7" to create a circle template. Trace with a pencil and cut out with a pair of scissors.)
- Use Ink to stamp your gratitude sentiment. (Another option is to print out your desired sentiment on the card stock before you cut out the 7" circle.)
- Arrange paper flowers as you like on the circle. Tip: Once you have your flowers arranged in a pleasing manner, take a picture on your cell phone. Then, as you use Craft Glue Dots to secure the paper flowers, refer to the cellphone picture for original placement. For added dimension, use Pop Up Glue Dots to raise up flowers and layer behind or around other flowers.
- Tie Ribbon onto the handle using square knots. Then, use Removable Glue Dots to secure the decorative panel to the Jiffy Pop popcorn packaging.
By using Removable Glue Dots, the recipient can enjoy the grateful sentiment and decorative panel long after the movie has ended and the popcorn snack has been devoured!
