I just need to get a small bag of popcorn when we go shopping tomorrow.

I've done this with regular thread before, and ended up chasing cranberries all over the living room. Sewing thread and machine quilting thread are 50 weight, and they break fairly easily. I now use hand-quilting thread, which is 40-wt and has a glaze on it for strength.

This will look great on our "tree". For the last few years, we've been dragging the ficus in from the front porch.
