Kids Hand and Foot Print Garland

Step 5 String the garland

Next, layout your garland and place your prints and word tags in the order that you would like to have them displayed on the garland. Choose beads or other additions now, and place them in order so that you can get an overall feel for your piece and to line things up for stringing. Take your ribbon and begin to thread the pieces together. With your prints, thread down from the top side on the left, and then up from the rear on the right so that the ribbon does not cover your precious print. Pull the print along the ribbon gently, leaving some at the end for a bow or tie for hanging. I left about a foot on either end. String the beads and word tags the same way, pulling carefully all the way to the end, and leaving 1/4 inch to 1 inch between pieces.
