This old-fashioned garland can be strung in a flash -- and the results look good enough to eat.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 2/3 cup unpopped popcorn
Medium paper bag Dried apricots Dried cranberries Needle and thread | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: food items | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To microwave the popcorn, pour the kernels into the paper
bag and loosely fold the bag closed. Place the bag in the
microwave. Cook on high for 3 to 6 minutes or until the popcorn
has popped (the exact time will depend on the power of the
microwave). It's done when the pops slow to a near stop. |
| 2. | Carefully remove the bag from the oven and open it to let the steam escape (an adult's job). Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let cool. Open the bags of dried apricots and dried cranberries and pour into separate bowls. |
| 3. | Next, thread a needle with about 36 inches of white thread doubled to make the thread strong and a workable 18 inches long. Tie a knot at the end. |
| 4. | Choose a pattern to repeat, for example, two pieces of popcorn followed by a dried apricot, then two more pieces of popcorn followed by a dried cranberry. String several short garlands, then hang them on the tree. |
