Make It Yourself Monday - Cupcake Liner Garland

The honey and returned from Florida earlier last week after visiting the fam and executing my sister's baby shower.  What a great time was had and that child is going to be spoiled rotten!! There was so many gifts to open that we had to skip half the activities just so the guests wouldn't have to spend the night! haha.  I'm so excited for my sister and she has the cutest prego baby bump ever!  Hard to believe next time I see her baby will be in hand and not in her belly.
Anywho... for this week's MIYM I thought I would share the actual garland I ended up doing for the shower.  I know I posted a few bunting and garland tutorials that I was thinking about but when push came to shove, the good ol' cupcake liner garland worked best.
I got a few pictures of the process of making but unfortunately none of it hung...boo!  But you'll get the idea either way.  It was very simple, cute and fun!  All I did was get extra cupcake liners when buying the one's we used for my Mom's amazing pistachio cupcakes, which I'll share on here one of these days.  Then I got a heavier type string, needle and started stringing.  Throughout the stinging process I tied knots to allow the space between liners that I desired and when finished tied loops on each end of the garland to make hanging easy.
