A length of twine.
1. Soak husks in warm water until pliable.
2. Fold husks in half and form head with about 12 inches of twine, tie around neck securely.

One linen handkerchief
Scraps of red ribbon
1. Smooth out handkerchief. Hold up an index finger and lay handkerchief evenly over it. Grab the top and twist. This forms the head. Tie in place with ribbon.

Big bowl of popcorn
Bag of dried cranberries (fresh is better.)
Butter or bees wax
Needle and thread
1. Pop popcorn and allow to cool completely.

Make several small strings and tie together before placing on the tree.

1 orange
Many cloves.
