Homemade Holidays: Popcorn Garlands

This holiday season I decided to try out some crafts that I had never done before. Making a popcorn garland was top of the list.

The tutorials I found online suggested using waxed thread but I didn't bother. I just used normal thread and it worked just fine. The only thing that's really important is making sure the strands aren't too long - just leave a long tail and tie them together.

I made mine with popcorn and cranberries:

Since our tree is more spooky than traditional, I put these on the trees outside and they were a big hit with the wildlife. This is one holiday craft that I'll be doing every year.
