Movie Party ~ Favors

Inspired by these plastic popcorn boxes found in Michaels' dollar section, the theme colors of Nathan's movie party became black, red & gold. The popcorn boxes were the perfect container for guest favors.
Once filled, I wrapped each container with clear cellophane and tied them with black, red & gold curling ribbon (also from Michaels). It is hard to see, but each little package is personalized with a gold star & the guest's name.
Inside the popcorn box was red shredded paper filler, bubble gum (left over from invitations), a full size Hershey bar, mini microwave movie butter popcorn, Mike & Ike's theater box candy, Admit One coaster (package of 8/$1 from Michaels), homemade chocolate star pop & dino Silly Bandz (for the movie theme Land of the Lost).
I'm not sure about your kids, but mine are CRAZY for Silly Bandz! I thought the dino bands would be perfect for the movie theme and purchased two packages of 24. I separated the bands into groups of six and created individual cello bags for each of the sets.
The cello bags are Wilton lollipop bags. I used 2 different colors of cardstock, a star punch & gold staples to create the header. With a silver glitter pen I wrote, "Thanks for a REEL fun time!" across the header.

The favors looked impressive, but with some coupon shopping, cost very little to make!
