Christmas Garland Made with Fresh Cranberries and Limes
- Fresh cranberries
- Fresh limes
- Sharp knife
- Large needle
- Waxed dental floss
- Wash the cranberries and the limes. Slice the limes into thin slices. Set aside.
- Thread the needle with the floss.
- Secure the first cranberry on the floss by putting the needle through the cranberry twice, then making a knot in the floss. Continue threading the cranberries and limes until desired length is achieved.
- Tie a knot at the end, leaving at least 12 inches of floss for tying to the tree.
Note: Cranberries and limes will stay fresh looking for days and then will dry nicely on the tree for up to three weeks.






I like this idea. Cranberries dry nicely and tend to look like beads. I havae had a real problem with bursting the berry while stringing. Any ideas?
