Materials
- An old Monopoly board

Instructions
1. Lay a Monopoly board flat on the table.

2. Cut off the black trim around the edge of the board.

3. Cut out and save all of the colored property tiles from the game. Discard any tiles that you can’t build houses or hotels on, such as railroads, Chance tiles or corner pieces.

4. Thread the end of the white embroidery thread through a needle. Thread on a white pom-pom and pull it several feet down the thread.

5. Take any of the light blue property tiles, such as Connecticut Avenue, and turn it face down. Put a thin line of hot glue across the back of the tile near the top edge.

6. Place the thread left of the white pom-pom onto the hot glue and let it dry. Flip the tile so it's face up but with the text upside down. Pull the white pom- pom close to the tile. Thread on another white pom-pom and pull it next to Connecticut Avenue, then repeat with Vermont and Oriental Avenues.

7. Repeat step 6 with the rest of the property tiles and pom-poms in this order: brown, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and pink.

8. Cut the thread a few inches from the end of the garland. Hang above a shelf of board games and invite some friends over for an evening of fun!
