String a Little String for Me.....

Christmas ornament garland.

So.... It may be late for Christmas, but it is a really great time for this project now that ornaments are on sale. You will need a bunch of them for this project so grab a few of those 30 packs (at least 4 of them depending on the size you want). I used plastic shatterproof because I am unsure how glass ornaments would hold up during storage.

Remove all of the plastic holders
 Break out your hot glue gun and glue all of the caps back on. This is not a fast process. But it is important so that they do not start popping off once they are side by side on line.

 Line out your colors so that you won't group the same colors when you string them.
Make sure you pay attention to your pup or he will come lie in the middle of your project.
 I used nylon cord since it was strong and wouldn't break easily. Make sure your cord is small enough to go through the ornaments eye.

HLT(Handy Little Tip): Wrap a piece of tape around your cord then cut the end off next to the tape edge to keep the strands together and make it easier to thread through the eyes.
 And done! Total Time to make was around 4 hours ( but that was also with Netflix on, so yours could take less time).
 
Head to your local store to get those half-priced ornaments while they are on sale.
