A couple weeks ago, I was preparing a lesson for church where, as an activity, you give scriptures as clues to what the topic was. Some suggestions were given online and in the manual, but all seemed either boring or not the best for children. As I pondered this, I thought back to New Years and the poppers I bought and realized that would work great! I did a search and every website with a tutorial required toilet paper rolls, but who keeps those on hand... So, for all you last minute party/lesson preparers out there, here is a tutorial for party poppers that does not require toilet paper rolls.
Materials:
* Card stock (or cereal boxes)
* Tape
* Tissue paper
* Ribbon
* Stuff to fill the poppers with
Directions:
* Start by cutting strips of card stock (or you could use cereal boxes) measuring 6" x 3"
* Make a circle overlapping the 3" edge by about 1/2" and tape to secure
* Fold your tissue in half lengthwise and again width-wise
* Cut along the folds you just made
* Cut lengths of ribbon about a foot long
* Center a card stock roll in one of the squares of tissue
* Wrap the tissue around the roll
* Twist one end and tie with a ribbon and stuff the popper with goodies
* Twist the remaining tissue end and tie with a ribbon
* Curl the ribbon with scissors
If you like you can add band around the poppers for more decoration
