Popcorn-wrapper-box-free-printable-movie

Popcorn is one of those things that once you start eating it you can’t stop. My solution was always to never have it, but since my kids have come along , going to the movies just is not the same if we don’t get a box of this popping good tasting stuff. Popcorn for parties is a great tummy filler for little kids and if you simply air pop it then it’s actually pretty healthy too. (Shh don’t tell my kids that)

These popcorn printables are perfect for a Movie night party, Hollywood party and even a sleepover party where you plan to air a movie to two. These printables are great for styling your DIY Party.

Here are some great free DIY printable wrappers for parties, movie nights or just for fun. Images and links go Left to right top to bottom.

PopCorn Labels – These are perfect for adding to containers or bags you already have on hand.

Cupcake Wrapper – Technically this one is for cupcakes but I thought it would make adorable mini serves. Just add the popcorn to a cupcake liner and you have single serve popcorn trays.

Generally I like knitting patterns where I feel like you can use whatever yarn you have (because my stash is big enough and I want to use it, thanks) and make a successful project. This is one of those times when a special yarn makes the process that much easier.

The Floral Bouquet Shawl from Xandy Peters uses a specific extended color pooling yarn from Feisty Fibers, which allows you to place the bobble flowers with increasing frequency as you knit the project.

It starts with a solid color yarn, then the two color yarn is added in, and you make a bobble whenever you encounter the color pops. This would be hard to replicate with other yarn that doesn’t have the extended color pooling built in.

The background of the shawl is ribbed, making the project reversible.

The shawl uses fingering/sock yarn and comes out to be an asymmetrical triangle that’s 54 inches/137 cm long and 36 inches/ 90 cm deep and 60 inches/150 cm across the top edge.

Xandy says the pattern is for intermediate to advanced knitters. Knowing how to work traditional bobbles would probably help, but there’s a great video tutorial for how to work the floral bobbles so you can practice on other yarn or even incorporate the bobbles into other projects.

The bobbles are five-petaled flowers but they also kind of look like starfish to me, which could be fun on a child’s cardigan or other pattern. They’d also be fun on the leg of a sock or around the brim of a hat for extra whimsy.

The pattern includes photo and video tutorials, and written and charted instructions. It also includes tips on what to look for if you choose to use different yarn for the project, and instructions on how to dye your own yarn to use in the project.

If you want to give it a try, you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
