What makes this caramel corn recipe extra special is the adorable vintage packaging. This recipe has the old fashioned and nostalgic taste of Crackers Jacks, and will be a hit with guests of all ages. I love putting my popcorn or caramel corn into pretty paper cones for any party and event. These cones make a serving easy to hold and is fun for the kids too. It seems this is the first thing the kids like to reach for when they see them on the food table. Below we have three kinds of printable vintage papers to make the Fourth of July cones that go with your caramel corn recipe. Just print the patterns onto 8.5 x 11 copy paper and trim the edges with pinking sheers. You will also find a sheet of star graphics that you can use as stickers. The round stickers can be printed onto a full sheet label paper and trimmed or punched with a 1.5 inch circle punch. The last piece of the download is the vintage caramel corn sign, which you can also print onto full sheet label paper.
Roll the paper into a cone and use the round stickers to hold it in place. Fill your cones with freshly made and cooled caramel corn and you are ready to serve this festive treat. You can see this whole Vintage Fourth of July party inspiration in this post. For the printable popcorn cone paper, labels and food tag, click the button at the end of this post under the recipe. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Dear Lia,
I’ve been following your blog for a while now and had yet to leave a comment.
Your designs are brilliant and have already given me so much joy re-creating, re-purposing (e.g. green straws instead of wires on your gorgeous paper flowers to make them proof for decorating cupcakes, your fabulous gift wrap for owl gift bags), and marvelling at. And now you’ve inspired me to re-purpose my grandparent’s wicker bottle carrier (those were quite the classy party accessory over here in Germany in the 1960s) and scout for more in thrift stores stores for “snack bars” at garden parties. I’ll probably line the cones with white greaseproof paper / sandwich wrap paper. 🙂 (Do I sound thrilled? ‘Cause I am.) Thank you so much as well for the caramel popcorn recipe; I tried it out right away and it was a huge hit with my family.
Thank you ever so much for sharing your ideas and please do keep them coming.
Best regards from Germany,
Sarah
