Faux Popcorn and Cranberry Garland
I saw a few people making this on tik tok and wanted to make my own version. I also noticed no one had done a good video tutorial on it so I decided to make one for my youtube channel.

Make the Popcorn!
There is really no exact science to this. Popcorn is a organic shape so you dont have to be careful.
First I sprayed a base layer of foam then stuck a straw in it and covered the top with more foam. I repeated this step a bunch of times!
Flip It Over!
One pro tip when making this is to flip the popcorn over half way through the cure time so that the bottom side puffs up as well. This will make it look like popcorn even more!
Paint the Popcorn!
I wanted my popcorn to have a buttered look so I used some spray paint to make that happen.
i just did a light dusting of the paint over the tops of the popcorn.
Melt the Ornaments!
In order to be able to string the ornaments we need to make another hole on the opposite side of the hole of the ornament.
I used a cheap soldering iron to this. Just be careful and do it in a well ventilated area.
String It Together
When we go to string the garland together pull out all the straws so that its easier to work with.
Then use a yarn needle and twin to string it all together.
Enjoy Your New Popcorn Garland!
Now you have your very own awesome christmas decor!
