Sugarplum Tree
If you have grown weary of glitzy dime store garlands, then these next ideas will seem like a breath of Christmas Past.

Sweet Treasure Chain Tie Imperial Sugar or Dixie Crystals Sugar Cubes up with slender ribbons to resemble miniature packages. Now, tie each "package" onto one very long (the desired length of the garland) piece of ribbon. This way, the "packages" will slide easily along the ribbon adjusting themselves to the perfect position on your tree.
Golden Popcorn Chain Dress up a simple popcorn garland by using metallic thread and creating a pattern with alternating sets of popcorn and golden beads. We popped our corn in our microwave with no fat and no salt to keep our popcorn garland looking great throughout the entire holiday season.
Candyland Garland Using a hot glue gun, we attached cellophane twisted candies together by overlapping their twisted ends. Then, we tied small pieces of ribbon to every other candy for a festive touch that was not too over-powering.
