  2. Ask an adult to thread the other end through a needle.
  3. Ask an adult to help you put the needle through a cranberry and push it to the end of the string.
  4. Do the same with a piece of popcorn.
  5. Repeat until the dental floss string is nearly filled with cranberries and popcorn.
  6. Leave a few inches at the top of the string and knot it.
  7. Place the string on your Christmas tree where you think it will look best.
  8. When the tree comes down, do not throw your popcorn and cranberry string away. Take the popcorn and berries off the string. Toss them in your yard or park. It will be a late Christmas gift for the birds!
