Paint red in between the tape and tear off the tape as soon as you’re finished. Repeat on both sides.

 

Step 5.

 

Spell out “POPCORN” diagonally on the front of the bag using decoupage glue.

Sprinkle glitter all over the letters until the are covered.

 

Step 7.

 

Outline each letter with gold glitter glue.

Punch a hole on each side, through the front and back of the bag.

 

Step 9.

 

Tie on natural cording as straps for the costume.

 

Step 10.

 

Cover your hands in yellow paint and crumple paper, so it looks like buttered popcorn.
