Before starting, use a FoodWriter or small dots of icing to mark even spacing between garland sections.
Using a tip 3 or any small round tip, hold the bag straight out with the tip touching the surface.
Squeeze a dot of icing to attach the starting point to the surface. As you pipe a line, lift the tip slightly away from the surface.
Move the tip towards the next point, letting the line of icing drop naturally to form an arc.
Touch the tip back to the surface at the end point of the garland section, stop squeezing and pull away.
Repeat steps until all the garland sections are completed.
