Most of us can recall making our own Christmas decorations when we were kids, it is a time-honored tradition. Stringing popcorn to hang on the tree, creating colorful chains out of paper and making photo ornaments are some of the most popular Christmas crafts for kids. The project is very simple to do all you need is popcorn, a needle and a spool of clear or white thread. Pop the popcorn and allow it to cool before trying to work with it. Thread a needle with an extra long piece of the thread.
Larger needles are easier to work with.
Tie a knot at the end of the thread large enough to keep the popcorn from slipping off. Insert the needle through the center of a piece of popcorn and slide the popcorn to the end of the thread. Keep repeating this until you have a string of popcorn long enough to drape around your Christmas tree. This is a fun and easy project for kids of all ages. Have the kids cut strips of paper of about the same length.
