Step 1
Pop popcorn according to your favorite kind of popcorn and its cooking procedure. Allow the popcorn to cool completely. Cut a long piece of fishing line (at least one yard long). Tie a large knot at one end (triple knot). On the other end thread a needle with the fishing line. Poke the needle through the center of a piece of popcorn. Gently push the piece of popcorn all the way to the end of the line. Repeat until you have completely filled in the line with popcorn. Tie off the end. Place on a Christmas tree or hang from banisters or other areas.

Step 2
Purchase some basic clear ornaments. Find a photo you like that can be cut down. Measure the width and height of the ornament. Draw a circle on the photo according to the measurements. Cut it out. Roll the sides of photo in gently so you have a scroll like appearance. Remove the top of the ornament. Carefully push the rolled up photo into the ornament. It should unroll on its own. If you need to help it along you can use a pair of tweezers to manipulate it. Place the top back on the ornament and you have a photo ornament. Or instead use paint and paint the exterior of the ornaments with Christmas images and message and place on your tree.

Step 3
Get a blank white piece of paper. Fold the paper in half then in half one more time so you are left with a 1/4-sheet size of paper. With a pair of scissors cut out shapes along the edges of the paper. These can be exact squares, triangles, squiggles and other shapes. Fold the paper more and continue to cut out edges. Open up your paper and see what you are left with. You should have a unique snowflake. Make as many of these as you would like. Hang them from the ceiling or string them on a string and drape from a mantle.

Step 4
Make a paper plate snowman. Flip the paper plate over so the bottom is up. Pull out different colors of construction paper. Cut out facial features for a snowman. Make eyes, a nose, mouth and eyebrows. Make a hat and maybe even a scarf. Glue the items on the paper plate with a glue stick. Make a whole family of snowmen and display on a wall or over the fireplace.

Step 5
Measure out 1 1/2-inch segments on a toilet paper roll. Mark with a pencil then cut along the lines. Cut a piece of Christmas fabric that is three inches wide by eight inches long. Place the fabric pattern face down. Place fabric glue on the back side of the fabric. Roll the toilet paper roll segment and press the fabric into the roll. Wrap the edges on the inside of the roll. Press and roll until the entire segment is covered and the fabric ends are all secured on the roll. You now have a napkin ring. Make several for your Christmas entertaining.
