A Snack for the Birds

I didn't intend to be a once-a-week blogger. I started out with high hopes of multiple-posts-per-week blogging, but I haven't seemed to figure out the time management part yet. Bear with me as I work on this!

Here's a project I worked on with my mom recently. It's so simple and has very pretty results. My mom said that my Grammy (her mom) would do this project with all of the kids when they were young.

We simply used a needle and thread to string the cranberries and popcorn together. We alternated but you can use any pattern you want.

Here are the supplies needed:

The popcorn is regular non-salted, non-buttered popping corn. We popped it in a Whirley-Pop on the stove.

The strands really brightened up the bushes and trees during the gray days of January.

The birds seemed to enjoy the popcorn the most. It went first. There are still some cranberries hanging around on the branches.

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but hopefully you are getting a few days of sun here and there!
