Getting Creative on a Budget: How to Make DIY Popcorn Garland
Getting crafty and creating items to decorate your home can be pretty daunting. And sometimes it gets rather expensive! But this DIY popcorn garland is neither daunting or expensive. So pop up your kernels on the stove and lets get to it!
Supplies are easy. Here’s what you need:
- a batch of popped popcorn (even day old is great!)
- a bag of fresh cranberries
- a needle and thread
1. Grab the popped popcorn and cranberries and place them in the center of your table so everyone can grab at them.
2. Each person gets a needle and thread (use dull needles for little ones).
3. Thread on the popcorn first. Add a few pieces of popcorn onto the thread and move it down the line.
4. Follow up with one cranberry. Then repeat. A good ratio is anywhere between 5-10 kernels of popcorn to one cranberry.
5. Once your done stringing everything together use the garland to decorate your Christmas tree or place it anywhere else in the house that needs a special touch!

i would love to do this but i think our dogs would attack the tree! so pretty though!
That’s why we have it on the kids play tree in their room 🙂 They were eating most of the popcorn though as we built it so I was a bit worried about them eating it.
