DIY Microwave Popcorn

Way cheaper and way healthier- what more can be said?

 Do you know what they put in pre-packaged popcorn?...Neither do I. Milk? Fish? Also, I don't want to be paying an arm and a leg for something I can make myself for a couple cents, and only take a few minutes to prep a bunch for later use.

I typed up the directions for mine (once I found out the perfect time that works for my microwave), and printed them on each bag along with the calories, but you don't have to get all fancy like I did haha. 

Basically, all you need is a brown paper bag, 1/4 cup unpopped kernels, and whatever topping you would like to add.

  

Pour the kernels in a bag, fold the top 1/2" over two or three times (DO NOT staple) and no need to tape, the bag will not open if you fold it over three times. Choose your popcorn setting on the microwave or whatever time you would normally do (you might have to do a couple test runs until you get the perfect timing)

...And Enjoy! 

Here Are my pre-made bags ready to go! You can also reuse the brown paper bags if you want ;D

Fall Leaves Tie Dye Craft

Living in Arizona we don't get many colorful leaves out here.  Problem solved with this quick and easy project! (Most people have everything needed for this craft already at home.)

Tips: Cut various shapes and sizes of leaves to give them some variety. Use water based markers. Don't over spray the water because it could wash all the color out. It's okay if not every single spot on the filter is colored. After they are completed, make a tree with a crumbled brown paper bag for the trunk, hang them in a window to see the beautiful colors as the light shines through, or make a mobile or scatter them around the kids table at Thanksgiving. Have fun!
