Add some popcorn to a sandwich baggie, add drops of green (about 20 for a 1/4 C popcorn)
and smoosh it around to distribute the color. Pour out onto a cookie sheet to dry,
mix with gold popcorn and package any way you'd like. Jars are cute or if you want to give away several,
cellophane treat bags would be good tied with some green and gold ribbon.

Don't forget to wear your green and...

This would make a cute gift wrapped up in little cello bags to give out to friends for St. Patty's day. Neat idea.

This is a great gift idea...I would love to see how it pops up!
ReplyDeleteEarl looks so handsome in the leprechaun outfit, his pink compexion goes so good with the green. xo
I love your green and gold...
ReplyDeleteHappy SP Day..
This is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteAnother neat idea. Instead of wearing the green and gold, you can eat it.
ReplyDeleteI'll doing this for my hubby's high school students. Thanks for the idea! xo
ReplyDeleteWill it turn the tongue green? LOL
ReplyDeleteI did just go stick my tongue out at the mirror... seems ok:@)
DeleteWhat fun popcorn! I love it no matter the color! Sounds good right now! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect St. Paddy's Day snack!
ReplyDeleteThat pig in his leprechaun outfit is a scream, Lynn! Thanks for the smiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks, too, for your kind words. The shock is starting to wear off, and I catch myself getting weepy at times so have difficulty even going to the grocery. I never know when it's going to hit. But I appreciate friends like you who take the time to care.
XO,
Sheila
Aww, I used to beg my Mom to buy colored popcorn when I was a kid - who knew we could have made it ourselvs? Gotta try it.
ReplyDeleteGreen and Gold -- the perfect popcorn combination for St. Patrick's Day! Got to love Earl in his leprechaun suit! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing it!!! I may use this as decoration for my St. Patrick's Day table!!! =D

ReplyDeleteHow FUN...you come up with the craziest ideas, Lynn! I wonder if the green is still visible after it is popped?
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your sneaking little comment about the ORANGE in my flowers! :-p Funny!! I got it!!!
Have a really great St. Patrick's Day!
Hugs,
Rett
I love your piggy leprechaun! So cute. sandie
ReplyDeleteLove this idea Lynn!! It could be done on other colors for different holidays :-)

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I can also visualize this 'puddled' on a table as part of a centerpiece design....kind of a green & yellow brick road. Thanks for the tip. Cherry Kay

ReplyDeleteAha! This is totally doable! But now I'm craving popcorn...at 10:45 in the morning! Too bad. I'm going downstairs to pop some! I'll try the colored popcorn later. Ooooh...maybe pink! :-) Visiting from Kathleen's Blog Crawl.

Never thought of that, such a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for crawling again this year, I loved having you take part!
Great idea and sounds super easy to do! I think the unpopped corn with the gorgeous gold and green would make great filler for glass vases for St. Paddy's too!
ReplyDeleteDD
Cute idea! I'm happy that you provided a visual from the Christmas batch so we know what it looks like afterwards. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI love this way of dressing up a bowl of popcorn to suit the season. This has all sorts of possibilities. Happy St. Patrick's Day, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteEarl you are looking mighty fine in your green, now you save me some of that special popcorn. This is awesome! Have a great St. Patrick's Day and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
Come Back Soon,
