American movie night at home

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t set foot in a cinema for ages, good habits should not be lost. Popcorn with the film, please! Because cinema is not the same without them, is it? You may not have a popcorn stand in your living room, but microwaved popcorn carried into the lounge is not the same at all.

At SelfPackaging we are very committed to home cinema, to couch and blanket sessions, so we have looked for (and found) a way of taking them to the next level. Who said an afternoon at home cannot be worthy of the Oscars? With our cardboard popcorn boxes and this downloadable template, it can be done!

A super post in collaboration with Mary Galou.

 

Materials:

• 1 popcorn box; size L, black (ref. 2221).
• 1 popcorn box; size S, red (ref. 2221).
• Double-sided adhesive tape.
• Downloadable template for movie nights.
• Scissors and box cutter.
• Popcorn, crisps… whatever you feel like!

 

 

Step by step:

1. Print the movie nights’ template and cut out the designs with the scissors and box cutter.
2. Stick the POP CORN design on the black popcorn box and the CHIPS design on the red box before folding them.
3. Fold the boxes. With some tape it won’t take a second, but you can also use other kinds of glue.
4. Fill your boxes with whatever you prefer, in this case popcorn and crisps.
5. Let the film begin!

 

Wasn’t that easy? There’s no reason you can’t have a magical movie night!

 

To make the plan more realistic, we have chosen 10 recent films that you might have missed when they were showing in theatres. Rent them online and enjoy them in style, while cosy at home. Much better!

 

• Arrival (science fiction, 2016).
• La la Land (romantic musical, 2016).
• Moonlight (drama, 2016).
• Tarde para la ira (Spanish thriller, 2016).
• A Monster Calls (fantasy, 2016).
• Inside Out (animated film, 2015).
• The Martian (science fiction, 2015).
• Bridge of Spies (thriller, 2015).
• The Hateful Eight (western, 2015).
• Birdman (tragicomedy, 2014).

 

In the downloadable template you will even find vintage tickets so you can host your very own home cinema session without leaving the house. Because every detail counts! Use it as a special plan for two, to surprise your children on a rainy day, for a fun afternoon with friends…. Just make sure your boxes are brimming with popcorn and crisps and the plan will be a guaranteed success.
