Let’s do the work! Chop chop!

First, mix in the glue and water into your mixing bowl. Make sure it’s 50% water and 50% glue. Soak the strings or yarns into the mixture. Don’t leave the sticky mixture for too long as it will only leave your strings sticking into your bowl.

Next, get your cardboard cone  and cover it with plastic cellophane or foil then wrap the strings around the cone. Just feel free to wrap the cone anywhere, any direction you want.

Have it dried under the heat of the sun and don’t attempt to microwave it as it would burn the strings. Just leave it dry. When it’s really dry, you can remove the cone and the foil to make the finished product. And there you have it, if you wanted to make it more classy and attractive, you can decorate it with cute little beads or stars around it.
