Grab your round paper mache container and lets get crackin’.

Using you round sponge dab some red paint on the side of your container in a dot style pattern.

Glitter as you go so it sticks to the wet paint.

Hot glue your ribbon onto your lid.

Once it’s dry add some crinkle paper to the bottom of your container. Why? Because it just makes it prettier!

How am I going to get that fluffy dog into that tiny balloon? I’m so glad you asked!

Take your clean tomato paste can with both ends cut out and make sure it doesn’t have any sharp shots. Stretch the balloon over the top of the opening of the can. Sttretttchhhh!

Now cram that fluffy dog through the tube, along with the money of course. You may need a wooden spoon to shove the items far enough into the balloon to be able to blow the balloon up.

Quickly! Blow up the balloon because no one needs the image of that messed up balloon, money, dog, is it birthing it.. thing in your mind for too long.

AHHH! Better! Make sure the balloon fits in the container before you tie it off.

Cut out a topper for your toothpick to pop your balloon by downloading this Topper Popper Pdf.

Cut it out and glue it to your toothpick.

Choose a piece of scrapbook paper and glue it to the underside of your lid.

Tape your toothpick popper topper to the scrapbook paper.

Done! Now give your DIY Surprise Present away and let the popping begin!

Did you give this as a gift?
