⭐️Measure the elastic string. Measure the length you'd like the necklace to be, then double the length and cut.
Thread the needle. Thread the needle and fold the string in half.
Add your snacks. Use the needle to thread the snacks onto the string, making sure to stop pushing the fruit or cheese down well above the end of the string. Repeat until you come just before halfway, then add enough marshmallows to spell the name you'd like to add. Continue adding snacks leaving plenty of room to tie the necklace.
⭐️Tie the necklace. The elastic string can be tricky to tie. The easiest way is to form a loop around your finger and push the string through. Pull VERY tightly. If you just pull as you normally would, it will come undone right away. The trick is to pull hard enough.
