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: Find a box that is suited to your height and is big enough to cover your body, but not to big. Now you need to cut a hole in the box 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 cut the 2 holes for the arms. Now remove and 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 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 a hat 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 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."
