Instructions

  • Print the template and cut it out. Wrap it around the cup, gluing it into place as you go.
    A striped paper cup labeled "World's Best Pop!" sits next to an orange Elmer's glue stick on a white surface.
  • Cut tissue paper into squares (approximately 2"x2") and crumple into little "popcorn" balls.
    Several yellow tissue paper squares and small crumpled paper balls are arranged on a white surface.
  • Just to give the bucket a more full look, I glued a row of "popcorn" around the top of the cup. This will also keep the wooden part of the popsicle sticks from peeking out.
    A hand holds a red and white striped cup labeled "World's Best Pop!" filled with crumpled yellow tissue paper; extra tissue paper pieces are on a white surface.
  • Glue a piece of popcorn to the top of each popsicle stick and write one thing you love about dad on each one.
    Several craft sticks with handwritten messages such as "Gives the best hugs" and "Takes me for ice cream" are arranged on a table with a marker and crumpled yellow paper.
  • Add each one to your popcorn bucket and your gift is ready to share!
    A striped popcorn container labeled "World's Best Pop!" is filled with and surrounded by crumpled yellow paper resembling popcorn.

Notes

  • The template is designed to fit an 8 ounce cup. 
  • A glue stick or white craft glue like Elmers is best for younger children but older kids may want to use a glue gun.
  • If you have multiple children, you can turn it into a fun game. They can combine all their sticks in one popcorn bucket and and dad can guess which kid wrote what.
