Make a 40cm long tube

2-120 Rnds: 6 sc
Cut the thread.
Prepare a piece of wire, it should equal the length of the tube. Insert the wire into the tube. Pull off the loops, hide the end.
Bend the wire to form a ‘snake’. Use the pliers if the wire is stiff or if not then simply bend it with fingers. Start from the top. See the photo for guidance.
Insert the Christmas baubles in the hollows and sew them on. Alternatively you may use ready made large beads.
