How To Make Your Own Popcorn Flavor Shakers (7 Varieties!)

Hey! You should make your own Popcorn Flavor Shakers. This makes a great gift!

Two Christmases ago, we surprised our older boys with this Vintage Popcorn Machine. It’s been super fun for family movie nights – but especially fun to use when we invite friends over.

I’ve had it on my to-do list since then to make fun flavor shakers to go with our popcorn. (Not that coconut oil and sea salt aren’t amazing in and of themselves.) These turned out amazing!

This is a great Father’s Day gift!!

Not the Popcorn Machine, unless you want to go all out!

But I’m talking about spending just a few dollars to make some fun Popcorn Flavor Shakers to give to Dad or Grandpa or Uncle this Father’s Day. Package it with a big bag of popcorn. Maybe promise him some game nights or movie nights to go with it. What fun!

The beauty of these Popcorn Flavor Shakers is that they taste just as good, if not better than, the commercial ones you can buy at the store. But of course, when we make our own we will save money and include only healthy ingredients.

You may find it helpful to blend these ingredients together to make a fine powder for easier sprinkling. Here are the recipes, and click here so we can send you all of the recipes plus shaker labels too!

    You may have taken extra time to post this, but it’s perfect timing for me! I was just making a list of the dry mixes I’m going to make soon, and popcorn seasoning is on it. I just didn’t have a recipe yet. Now to choose which one?? I’m leaning toward ranch, but the sweet ones sound really good, too. Then again, so do the bbq and pizza…

    What type of oil do you use in your popcorn machine? I would like to get one, but I was told I would have to use the thick yellow oil they sell with the popcorn makers.

      I use good ol’ organic virgin coconut oil. So popcorn made in these machines is healthy and delicious!

    I think the only flavor missing is a sweet and spicy!!! Like a sriracha type ;). They all sound good though!
