2. Measure three inches (halfway) into the 6 inch tube and mark this, and cut along the mark. You now have two tubes 3 inches long.

3. Cut a piece of wrapping paper approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches (same size as a standard sheet of paper). Place the two tubes on this paper, leaving a one inch gap between the two pieces.

4. Roll the paper around the tube, and tape shut. Do not put the tape over the 1 inch section gap, or it might be harder to "crack" the popper open. Then, twist one end of the wrapping paper at the end of the tube, and secure with curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon with the edge of the scissors.
