Lay spaghetti on wax paper, on a cookie sheet
Push spaghetti into pastry bag, thru the tip
Slightly twist the spaghetti to coat then gently squeeze the pastry bag, slowly pulling out the spaghetti
Continue to slowly pull out the spaghetti
Lay on cookie sheet to dry
After several hours remove from cookie sheet

After each fence section is dry, place onto your gingerbread display where desired, using more Royal Icing to keep in place, and adding a little swirl on the bottom and top ends of the stringers (covering the raw spaghetti ends)
