Making popcorn garland

Isabella was determined this year to have strings of popcorn on the tree like they do in so many Christmas books. So I bought some dull needles and gave the two kids a bowl of popcorn and some string and amazingly enough they strung the whole bowl of popcorn! We had enough garland to do most of the tree. I have to say that I kinda like it. Except for the giant popcorn explosion mess that was incurred in the process. (nothing the vacuum cleaner couldn't handle) 12.2.09
