DIY Chocolate Covered Popcorn

Hello! Today we're making DIY chocolate covered popcorn. You will need:

• popcorn (I used microwave kettle corn)
• candy melts (I used black and white)
• piping bags or plastic bags
• small bags to put popcorn in

First, pop your popcorn.

Put your popcorn in the bags and set aside. Then melt your chocolate and pour it into the plastic bag. Cut off the tip of the bag and pour over the popcorn.

Let the chocolate harden, and you're done! This is how mine turned out:

This DIY was super fun and easy to make. They are great as party favors, or just to snack on! I hope you try these out sometime.

Until next week,

DIY Pom Pom Rug

Hello! Today we're making a DIY pom pom rug. You will need:

• pom poms with 2 strings attached (I have another post about this, read here)
• scissors
• rug liner as big as your desired rug size

This DIY is super short, so here goes: all you have to do is tie the pom poms through the holes in the rug liner, making sure they don't fall off.

Once you've fully arranged the pom poms, the rug looks like this:

This DIY was super easy to make, but making the pom poms was the hardest part, as it took over 2 hours to complete them. The end result is so soft! I hope you try this out sometime. 

Until next week,
