Tree garland

I found the idea for a pasta Christmas tree garland many years ago and I used a wagon wheel shaped pasta. I have put it on my tree for at least 20 years. Needless to say there has been some breakage over time. I found this Christmas pasta at the local market and decided it was time for a new garland. So I spent an hour today stringing this piece. I need to make at least two more of the same length.
