Step 4

Curl all the straight bits around your finger. Once you’ve done them all, you’ll have a ball shape.

Step 5

Flip the ball over and find the loops you twisted. Poke some ribbon through one of the loops.

 

Step 6

Repeat until you have a garland full of curly pipe cleaner fun. To prevent your ribbon from fraying, seal the ends by holding them close to a lighter flame.

Sit back and enjoy your awesome new pipe cleaner garland. Pretend it was hard so that people will be impressed!
