Days are still cold and the fun of the snow has faded at
times making for some cooped up kids! I
say go with the lazy flow and have a movie marathon! Why not make it a Harry Potter marathon? There are plenty of movies to fill the day
with that series. Have the kids grab their
pillows and blankets, make some coco or pass out the sippies and have everyone
just lounge around on the couches and floor while watching you’re movies! To get into the feel let’s make a cool
popcorn holder for the kids!
You need:
An empty pop bottle (plastic)
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Buttons (optional)
Paint (optional)
This is very simple to do.
First, remove the label. Now
scrub the outside to remove any of the label glue residue. Next, cut the bottle near the bottom. Scrub the bottles insides out. Flip over the top portion of the bottle. Using your hot glue put a ring of glue around
the outside of the spout of the bottle.
Place this dead center inside the bottom of the bottle and hold to
dry. Next, fill the inside of the spout
with hot glue and add some more to the outside of the bottle. Let dry.
Now you can either be done here and just add popcorn to your
goblet of goodies or you can decorate it.
If you decorate I suggest doing so with buttons. You can paint
them gold or whatever color, allow to dry and then apply or you can apply them
as is using glue (hot glue is a better hold, but not safe for little
fingers). Make sure to avoid gluing them
to the bottom of the goblet where it sits on the counter or it won’t sit nicely
anymore. Decorate as you see fit and
then allow drying. Once dry, add popcorn
and sit down for your Harry Potter marathon watching each kid enjoy their own special
goblet!
We used ours to put holiday goodies we baked inside to share
with friends and neighbors! You can use
this for decoration, popcorn, or whatever else you can imagine. Have fun with
this magical craft and let the spells you cast be memories of laughter!
