To make this humble, old-timey ornament, in the Fall, gather some hickory nuts with the hulls still partly attached. Actually, you don't need the nuts themselves, just the hulls. Let them dry out to the hardest state... not mushy, not wet, or full of bugs. For each flower you need 5 quarter-hulls. Using a hot glue gun, attach the five petals at the center to make a flower shape. Add a hanging loop and glue that on. Then, paint the whole flower your favorite color. Let it dry, then glue on a few raw popcorn kernels. Coat the whole flower with a clear sealer for a little shine. Some glitter might be snazzy, or just leave the flower plain and simple.
