When cutting the strips of crescent rolls, do you cut them lengthwise and how many like four and then cut the strips in half I’m thinking I would use regular hotdogs and cut the hotdogs in half with a strip. Thank you.
Hi Mary! You’re correct. the last time I did this, I cut 9 strips and then cut the strips in half and it was perfect to make a wreath! I hope you love it! – Maria
