Even though Christmas is behind us, it’s still the time of year for entertaining and having fun with friends! Whether you’re preparing for a fancy adult party to ring in the New Year or a fun, family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration, I’ve got the perfect party favor idea!
Everyone loves popcorn, so why not treat them to some that’s extra delicious? Pop Works & Company is launching a line of ready-to-eat popcorn that’s a unique twist on a traditional party favorite. It all starts with light and airy popcorn, then Pop Works & Company adds sweet glazes and drizzles and sprinkles bits of sweet treats over the top to create three amazing flavors; Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel & Fudge, and Birthday Cake.
To make these festive favors, I combined the popcorn with my love for hand lettering. Here’s how you can make your own, just in time to ring in 2016!
You’ll need:
White card stock or heavy paper
Markers {mine are Tombow Dual Brush Markers}
Scissors
Adhesive
Step 1: Cut your card stock using a party hat template. Be sure to have at least one per guest.
You could also use pre-made party hats if you can find some that aren’t already decorated.
Step 2: Draw/write your messages and doodles!
For simple lettering tips that anyone can do, be sure to check out my Basic Hand Lettering post. You can also use alphabet stickers and stencils if you prefer. I used the color scheme and basic shapes on the bags for each flavor to inspire my decorations. That way, guests will be able to tell which favors contain which flavors.
For Salted Caramel & Fudge, I used pink, orange, yellow, and turquoise for my writing and embellishments and made triangle confetti in the background.
The bag for Cookies & Cream uses concentric circles in red, orange, teal, and green, so I did too!
My favorite decorations were the stripes I made, inspired by the ones on the Birthday Cake popcorn.
Step 3: Assemble your hats.
I like to use glue dots or double sided adhesive to hold them together.
Step 4: Fill with popcorn and enjoy!
Pop Works & Company popcorn is sold exclusively online. You can choose your favorite flavor, or if you can’t decide, “Build a Box” by mixing and matching all three flavors. Right now, you can take advantage of the introductory price of $15.99 on the Pop Box, a colorful, versatile box you can fill with the 3 different popcorn flavors. Plus, get free 2-Day shipping through New Year’s Eve!

I made some birthday cake popcorn for Teacher Appreciation Week–if this popcorn is anything like what I made, it is dangerously good!
