Sometimes the simplest decorations are the most beautiful. This gorgeous garland is made using popcorn and fresh cranberries. It is the perfect Christmas craft activity to do with children, because snacking on the ingredients is just as much fun as creating the finished product. Using waxed dental floss on a sewing needle, string through ten pieces of popcorn followed by three fresh cranberries.
Very young children may do better handing an adult the ingredients to string as opposed to using the needle themselves. Change the popcorn to cranberry ratio to create the desired look. Once completed hang the fresh garland on outdoor trees or bushes. Not only will the visual effect by stunning to passersby, it will be great fun for the children to peek out the window at the birds and squirrels nibbling on their creation.
An alternate idea is to use dried cranberries instead of fresh fruit to create a longer lasting piece. If stored carefully in an airtight container, the dried cranberry and popcorn garland will be usable the following year.
Although children of all ages can help with the projects, adult supervision is needed. Creating decorations with a child is a wonderful gift of time and interaction. Including those crafts in the home holiday decor gives value and importance to a child\'s creations. Enjoy the time spent away from the hustle and bustle of holiday crowds and spend precious time with the ones who mean the most.
