I can not believe we are getting ready for the holidays. It’s been cold and rainy here in southern California so we wanted to have a little fun to get ready for the holiday season. Of course we do a lot of snacking so keeping around favorite like Pop Secret Popcorn is a must for our family.
It also happens to be the inspiration for our simple holiday craft idea. A simple and traditional popcorn garland. We had fun creating the garland and I got to tell our girls about how generations before us used to decorate their homes. We got to imagine we were from another time with a simple tree decoration and it’s those moments that create lasting memories for our girls. 
All you need to do is start by tying one end to a paper clip and secure it so you can string the popcorn. It also makes a great hook to secure the popcorn to the tree. 
I might suggest using a needle and thread so you can delicately string the popcorn. It easily can break so the needle helps it get through the popcorn. 
Once you’re all done you just hang it on the tree. 
Create and share your own Fun Side Out Projects and submit the photos to the Pop Secret Facebook page or Instagram via the campaign hashtag #FunSideOut for a chance to win a year’s supply of Pop Secret Popcorn! Remember for entries they have to include both popcorn and a paper clip.
What’s your favorite popcorn craft project?
This looks like a great holiday craft to do with kids. I was thinking I should do this for our tree this year then reality hit. We have a dog, a big dog, and I am sure he would try to eat all of the popcorn!
One traditional Christmas craft that I have never attempted to do, I’m afraid my dogs would eat the tree, I love the way it looks though, very pretty!
My kids would love to do something like this!
We have strugn popcorn before but not for years. I bet my youngest would like it.
I wonder where the concept of making popcorn garlands came from in the first place. I’ve never done it before, but I bet it smells nice.
I haven’t made popcorn garland in years! I need to try making it this year because my son has never done it before. Would be a nice family activity to do together.
This sounds like a great activity to do with my nieces kids. When my boys were younger we used to do this. We love Pop Secret butter popcorn.
Popcorn garland is always fun it’s messy. I try to stay away from it but I always admired those who do it.
Never made this before but this looks like a yummy idea. We love popcorn, we might as well try this!
I have never crafted with them, I just eat them! 🙂
We love making this too! We haven’t in a long while, so this looks like something we will have to do this year! My kids will love it!
Ive never tried doing this and I dont know why! It seems so traditional!
I had no idea you can actually use popcorn for a craft project, but I’ve never been a “crafty” person. 🙂 Thanks for the idea though. So cute!
I forgot about stringing popcorn! We used to do it every year when I was little. It was so much fun…eating and stringing!
What a clever idea. I think the popcvorn won’t work for me though, I love popcorn and I might just be tempted to eat everytime I walk by, lol.
This looks like a lot of fun! I have never made popcorn garland but I think we might need to make some this year.
We have a tradition at our house to watch The Polar Express and string popcorn while watching. I love this time of year!
I love this. Popcorn stringing is so much for fun for my boys and my youngest often times makes it into a snack while we decorate!
How fun! I can’t remember the last time I made popcorn garland. We may have to pop some up and make some fun and traditional style garland this year.
My son and I do this every year. Not only is it fun, but it’s also a great tool to help with motor skills.
I’ve never tried doing this because I know it’s time-consuming. It’s beautiful, though.
super cute but wow that’s a lot of work… and I would just rather eat the popcorn LOL. I think by the time I finished I would have probably eaten more than half of the bowl of popcorn.
This is such a cool diy decoration. It’s one that’s easy for the kids to help out with too!
I want to do this with my son this year. He is now old enough to understand it and loves to decorate the tree.
This is too cute! I am working on an edible jewelry post with Airheads this week so I totally feel ya on this edible popcorn decoration. Pinning it to my Kids Craft board. Xo
I like to make popcorn balls with my boys. Hmm we eat them though so I guess that isn’t a craft!
I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas!
I love popcorn garland. I don’t know what it is about it, but it defines Christmas for me.
Making popcorn garland is a lot of work. I did it once and it took hours.
