P O P C O R N
What you need.
► Large cardboard box to fit size
► White paint (spray or can)
► Red paper for stripes (or paint)
► Bottle of glue or glue gun
► Styrofoam packing peanuts 1. The box: First find a box that is suited to your height and is big enough
to cover your body, but not so big that it's clumsy. Now you need to cut 3 holes in the box. One hole should
be on the top (for your head). Measure your head, then cut the hole in box about 2 inches larger than your
head. Slip the box over your head and measure where you will cutthe 2 holes for the arms. Now cut the
arm holes. Be sure to make the hole big enough so arms have room to move.
2. Paint your box: Be sure to paint in a ventilated area if not using water based paints. Spread old
newspapers on the floor before painting. Paint the entire outside of the box white. You may want to paint a
little inside near the holes also. Let the box dry completely.
3. Red stripes: Measure red stripes from construction paper being sure to measure and make the stripes all
the same size. You could also paint the red stripes. Painting is much harder that gluing though. Wait for the
stripes to dry on.
4. The hat: The girl in the photo glued styrofoam packing peanuts to an old hat to make it look like
popcorn. You could also use a small box for ahat and make it look like a small popcorn box.
5. Finishing touches:Spread glue on the top of the box where your head will come through. Now cover the
box with styrofoam packing peanuts and allow it to stick to the box. You can also use real popcorn for this.
You can glue popcorn to an old hat and wear the hat if you like. Now if you like you can write the word
"Pop Corn" with black paint or write your own name like "Daniel's Popcorn."
