  • Now glue the popcorn box design in the center of another piece of cardstock paper.
  • Finally, to finish the craft, place your thumb on the yellow ink pad and then on the printable to make several fingerprints AKA buttered popcorn, until the remaining white area is completely covered and the box looks “full.”
  • When done with the ink step, use baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink to clean up your finger.
  • To finish the Thumbprint You Make My Heart POP kid craft idea, go ahead and add some small heart stickers inside {and around} the popcorn box to really tie the theme together.
  • Then let it all dry completely before gifting or displaying it proudly!
