Popcorn Garland ~

Who doesn’t like popcorn? Fresh, hot, buttery popcorn! What a wonderful snack! And Jolly Time Popcorn is some of the best. Jolly Time Popcorn is available at most grocery stores and in a variety of different flavors, such as Blast-o-Butter, Crispy N White, and Kettlemania just to name a few. I love popcorn just about anytime, and I especially love Jolly Time brand.

Popcorn Garland

Since it it the holidays, Jolly Time thought it would be great to revive an old tradition of stringing popcorn and cranberries together as popcorn garland to go around the Christmas tree. It isn’t really a difficult task and children can make these, too. Several years ago, before artificial trees and decorations, it was very common for folks to make popcorn garland with cranberries to add some color and decoration to evergreen trees outside. It was also an inexpensive decoration to use indoors, as well. Every time I remember this tradition, I think of the old Merle Haggard Christmas song, “Santa Claus and Popcorn.” Merle has a way of reminding us of these old traditions in his songs.

How To Make Popcorn Garland With Cranberries

You will need…

• 3 qts popped Jolly Time popcorn {unsalted and unbuttered}
• 2 qts whole, raw Habelman Cranberries

Here’s how…

• You will get the best results if you let the popcorn sit for a day,
• Thread approximately a yard of thread or dental floss and make sure to tie a knot in the end.
• Run the needle through a firm cranberry and then a piece of popcorn and push the pieces all the way to the end.
• Continue this process, alternating the cranberries and popcorn until the thread is almost full.
• Continue to make more of these until you have made as many as you like.
