Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

popped popcorn
medium size needle
white thread
scissors

Step1

Make some popcorn. At least one large size bowl is needed, but that will depend on the size of your tree. Be sure to let the popcorn cool.

Step2

Thread the needle, but do not cut the thread from the spool because it will take a lot of thread for the popcorn garland to cover an entire tree.

Step3

Start stringing one popcorn at a time by inserting the tip of the needle into the center of each piece.

Step4

Keep sliding it further down on the thread making room for more popcorn.

Step5

Once you feel that you have enough garland for the size of your tree tie off the end of the thread by looping the thread. Make sure that it is well-secured, and then gently cut the thread.

Step6

Carefully hang the garland onto your Christmas tree.

Tips & Warnings

Letting the popcorn sit out for a while to get stale will make it easier to string, because it won't be as crisp and likely to break when you stick the needle in it.
Plain, unbuttered and unsalted, popcorn is less likely to attract bugs
Waxed dental floss is stronger than thread
Do not let popcorn burn and do not use burned popcorn.
Seasoned or flavored popcorn is likely to attract bugs.
