Supplies:

• Paper cups (cone-shaped)
• Scissors
• String
• Ruler

Instructions:

Step 1
Cut a piece of string the length you would like your garland to hang. Keep in mind these garlands need to be hung vertically!

Step 2
Remove a few paper cones from the stack and use scissors to cut a small snip on the tip of the cone, forming a small hole. You want the hole to be large enough to poke the string through but not so large that the knotted string will slide through. This will take a little bit of guess and check, so start small and then cut the hole larger if needed.

Step 3
At the bottom of the string, tie an overhand knot about 1″ from the end. Slide the first paper cup over the string so that it rests on this knot.

Step 4
Tie another overhand knot 2″ from the top of the paper cone that you just slid on. Slide a second paper cup onto the string so that it rests on this knot.

Step 5
Tie one more overhand knot again 2″ from the top of the second paper cone, and slide on a third paper cone. The first tree is now complete!

Step 6

Repeat this process to make additional trees – for the garland pictured, I measured 9″ between trees but you can customize this as you like. Make as many string as you need and tie a loop at the top of the string for easy hanging.
