How to Make Soap-Scented Popcorn
Materials Needed:
- Plain popped popcorn (no butter or salt)

- Microwave-safe bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Wax paper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Popcorn:
- Start by popping your popcorn using an air popper or in the microwave. Ensure it’s plain, as you don’t want any butter or flavors mixing with your scent.
