Cut three pieces of Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine each 3" long.
Tip: If there are kinks in your twine, you can remove them by pinching a baby wipe or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol around one end of the twine and then pulling the twine through. Do this a couple of times to remove the kinks and allow the twine to dry.
