Step 3Start threading!
Start threading your cranberries and popcorn on the string! Some of your popcorn will crumble or be difficult to thread ... so eat it! Don't eat the cranberries though, they taste bad raw.
If you come across a cranberry that is soft at all, toss it or save it for cooking.
I found it easiest to thread a few pieces on the string, then push them down. This made for less time spent pushing things the length of the garland! If the popcorn was "octopus" shaped - a round bit on top of where the kernel popped - it seemed to work best piercing through the round bit first and using a gentle twisting motion to get through the kernel bits on the other side.
Do be prepared for the occasional knot or kink in your string! Work at it gently and it should come loose just fine. This seems to be a bigger problem in the beginning of working the garland.
Don't be afraid to try creating patterns or designs as you thread things on, especially if you have beads or other things to throw in the mix!
