You can use one of those special plastic containers that are marketed for making popcorn in a microwave.
You can also use a paper bag. Make sure the bag is big enough to contain the popped corn. Put about half a cup of popping corn in the bag, fold the top closed and use some tape to keep it closed. You can also use a plastic clip but make sure there is no metal in the clip. Place bag in microwave. Use the Highest setting for about 3 minutes. When the popping sound slows down to about every 3-5 seconds, it should be done. Turn off the microwave. Be careful removing and opening the bag as it can be very hot.

Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?
As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.
