"KATALIN TOTH: Hi. I'm Katalin, the creator of Creative English in Hungary, and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. Now, I'm going to show you a few Christmas garlands from dried pasta. Okay. Now I start with the curly ones. It's always advisable to try the wool before you start putting on the pasta because not all types of wool is suitable for this task. So some of them are not thick enough. Some of them are too thick. Some of them are too soft, and then you can't push them together. And sometimes the pasta is too thin, then you can just put those bits aside. Okay. Well, let's see how we are getting on. Okay, like that. Put a little bit more of these curly ones. Again, if it's too soft, then you just cut off a little bit 'cause from the pushing it softened a bit. You can even make it a little bit wet. So now, you can tie the two ends together. I mean, you can tie it between the two different kinds of pasta together. We have to cut off a little bit 'cause it's too long. Okay. And then it's easier to tie it together when it's shorter."
