The first ones to have used popcorn or small kernels of corn that burst when exposed to heat in their diets were American Indians. Later this "disease" spread throughout America and came to Europe. Since 1912 popcorn is sold in cinemas and is now an integral part of it. Given the fact that popcorn is a grain, similar to breakfast cereal, it could be a nutritional component of a sustained diet if it wasn`t salted or artificially sweetened.
There is salted, sweetened popcorn, as well as popcorn in a beautifully decorated bag. So now to the latter.
Materials needed:
• thick paper for the base of the bag;
• red crepe paper for wrapping;
• transparent ribbon;
• glue;
• scissors;
• colourful magazine pictures;
• popcorn.
Procedure
Step 1. Cut a rather big bag and fix its edges. Plaster the bag with red crepe paper and fold its edges inside the bag.
Step 2. On the opposite side of the bag pinch small holes and thread a ribbon through them, fixing inside with a knot.
Step 3. Cut multicoloured hearts from magazine illustrations and glue to the edges of the bag.
Step 4. Make popcorn in the microwave and put in the bag. Those who want something more original can colour the popcorn pink with grenadine syrup. The bag can also be filled with other kinds of sweets and dried fruit. Hang the bag somewhere near your cosy sofa and the romantic movies night can start!
Let us hang popcorn bag closer to the sofa, and it is a time to ejoy an evening! :)
