Hello wednesday - Popcorn garlands

clock January 4, 2012 10:28 by author Crafty Ribbons

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday  "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

Hello wednesday"s are back - well only just.  I am a day out, thought today was Tuesday!

No I have not lost the plot and this is not a leftover from our countdown to Christmas ideas - I made this for my birds.

It has turned pretty nippy here in Dorset, so I thought it was time to start looking after the birds in the garden.  I made a bag of popcorn then threaded it onto 3mm sheer ribbons, I tried 3mm satin but the ribbon kept breaking the popcorn.  The sheer ribbon here, is so fine that it just slipped through the popcorn.  I made several of these garlands and have hung them on my trellis.  I waited awhile to see if I could get a photo with a bird feeding on them........but.................it was too cold, for me not the birds!

So a nice easy ribbon idea to get you started for the new year.

Hope you are all warm and well.

Lovely idea. But I will have to hang them high up or my grandchildren will be pretending to be birds. They are very partial to Popcorn. So am I 'tweet tweet'. A very happy new year to you all, many thanks for the advent ideas. I had a go at a few and they were very well received.

What a brilliant idea Ali,where do all of your ideas come from, you don't stay awake all night with your head full of them do you? Ha, I only ask this because I do and in the end I have to get up and write them down,only then can I sleep. Smiles!!Your birds will love you.
