Created in the 60s, A Charlie Brown Christmas is all about the simple nostalgia of the holiday season. Decorations are easy and homemade, with a rustic charm that gets guests into the holiday spirit of a bygone era.
Popcorn Strings
Create popcorn strings to hang from doorways and string across rooms. Popcorn strings were a classic part of Charlie Brown's Christmas decor, and they should be part of yours as well!
Supplies
3 to 4 bags of popped popcorn
Clear fishing line
Directions
Step 1: Pop 3 - 4 bags worth of popcorn and allow to cool completely.
Step 2: Thread clear fishing line through a needle and use it to string long lines of popcorn.
Step 3: Hang as desired for a thoroughly 60s Christmas.
Note: Add a pop of color like we did and string cranberries in between batches of popcorn. The white and red will create an instant (and budget-friendly) garland!
Pennant Banners
Evoke old-fashioned party decor by crafting homemade pennant banners in addition to popcorn strings.
Supplies
Red and green cardstock
Marker
Tape
Directions
Step 1: Simply cut square pieces of green and red cardstock in half diagonally to form triangles.
Step 2: Write one letter per triangle to spell out Christmas phrases or lines from the movie, like the famous, "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown!" quote.
Step 3: Use tape to affix the pennants to a piece of twine or Christmas ribbon. Finally, hang the pennant banner along a wall or entryway to a room for homemade decor with vintage appeal.
