First quadruple the string, so it’s thick and can hold the weight of the candy. So double it and add the needle, then pull the string through, so it’s 4 times as thick. Hopefully that makes sense! : ) Ours was about 2 feet long. Tie a knot at the end, but leave extra room for hanging the garland.
String the Whoppers one by one. Mara used this gripper I have that works to open jars, to pull the needle through once the malt ball was halfway on. Otherwise, you’re fingers will slip when trying to pull the needle through the candy.
Sting as many as you would like and then tie another knot. Don’t cut the string right at the knot, you’ll need extra string to hang your garland.
You can hang this garland on a mantel (as long as the fires not lit!), staircase, window, etc. I tied a brown bow at the ends and middle of the garland, it’s a good way to hide the tack that I hung it with and it looks very pretty!
