How to Thread the Needle for Popcorn Christmas Garland

Video Transcript

"Hi everybody, my name is Angela Pugh. I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village to teach you how to create Christmas tree garland out of popcorn. Let's take a quick lesson on threading this needle, shall we? First of all you want to be sure that your string doesn't have any frayed edges, a nice way to do that is to just smooth it down with your fingers. Some people like to lick their fingers and they take the moisture and smooth it down, some people take their scissors and cut it at an angle, but you definitely want to be sure that the point is as sharp as it can be. Then, take your thread, position it ever so carefully right at the entrance, then you want to take your thread, position so carefully right at the eye, steady hand, and pull it through. Once you get it through, stop it maybe half way and just let the rest come through so that all of your garland pieces are attached to the spool."
