You Make My Heart Pop! I love popcorn, so I hope someone makes me one of these 🙂 My daughter had a blast making hers. It was a lot of fun to decorate the can. Here is the how to-
First, remove labels from cans. Use a can opener to remove the bottom end of the can. It’s the side without the the tap. Plan ahead and start to save the fruit, beans and vegetable cans. Or if you more last minute, buy bulk canned fruit and make smoothies or freeze it! Once the can is clean and empty, fill it with popcorn. Be sure to add tissue paper on top of the popcorn before you seal the lid back on. This way no glue will get on the popcorn. Lastly take the bottom of the can and glue it back one with hot glue. Let set, and you have the most adorable Valentine’s gift! I added some pink card stock to my can then the tag on top, and finished with a ribbon!
Enjoy making these fun Valentines, and get all the supplies you need right here!
