Supplies:

Step 1: String popcorn pieces onto a piece of wire.

Step 2: Gently bend the wire into the desired shape, pushing the pieces of popcorn as close together as possible without breaking them.  Then, secure the ends of the wire, twisting it and tucking in the end pieces so they don’t poke you.

Step 3: Using the scissors, cut a piece of ribbon so you can hang your popcorn ornaments.

Step 4 (OPTIONAL): if you desire a pop of color, paint your popcorn ornaments in festive hues!
