Assembly:

Yay! You’ve completed your crochet popsicles and now it’s time to make them into a garland!

Beginning with white yarn, cut a long string 20 inches longer than your desired garland length to allow for loops for hanging it. Mine measures 100 inches completed so I cut my yarn string 120 inches.

Begin stringing the craft balls on the string, placing 5 craft balls between each Popsicle. Space each popsicle about 10-12 inches between the others with 5 wool balls in between. After you have strung all of the popsicles and wool balls on the string, space them apart as desired. Finish by tying a few pieces of contrast colored ribbon on the garland at 3 or 4 places to add visual interest.

You did it! Way to go! Now hang up your Popsicle garland for everyone to see. And after all of that work, you know what you deserve? That’s right….a Popsicle!
