Popcorn is a wonderfully cheap and effective product to use for Christmas decorations. The wreaths are great for the birds hung in trees or use a popcorn garland to decorate your tree or mantlepiece indoors.
These easy to make Christmas decorations can be customised with family names or festive sayings and are great fun to make on your own or with the family. Perfect for hanging on the tree, or adding as a name tag on your gifts or your Christmas table settings they’re good value too.
It’s so simple! Most of the ingredients can be found in your garden or allotment, and you can adapt it to suit what you have close to hand. Just grab a potato and off you go!
