popcorn ornaments

These are fun ornaments to make.

You'll need:
GLASS ball ornaments
Popcorn kernels 
ribbon { optional }

1. Remove the tops of the ornament
2. Fill with popcorn kernels 
{*amount of popcorn depends on size of ornament~see below}
3. Microwave a few seconds to start, add time as necessary
{total amount of time will vary with each microwave}
4. After the popcorn is finished popping shake out any unpopped kernels
5. Replace top and add ribbon
  
*For the mini ornaments I used only ONE kernel of popcorn per ornament.
*For the large ornaments I used approximately 10-15 popcorn kernels in each but amount may vary depending on the size of ornament}. It doesn't take very many kernels to fill the ornament once they have popped. 
NOTE: Occasionally an ornament will break during popping so watch carefully while in the microwave and check for broken glass.
