Supplies
Old book or awesome scrapbook paper
hot glue
ribbon
ink(optional)
Step 1: Cut out your flags. Depending on what you want your banner to say, if anything, will determine how many flags to cut. I found out it's easiest to do this by folding the paper in half to make a square and then folding it in half again, but the other direction and cutting it from one corner to the other. I know this makes no sense without looking at the picture, so just look at the picture.
They should look like this when you're done.
Step 2 (Optional):Antique them. You can buy distressing ink, but I'm cheap and just bought some regular "brown" ink. It looks kind of orange to me.
Step 3: Stamp your letters on or glue chip board/paper letters on where you want them.
Step 4: Hot glue the flags to the ribbon
 |
| First add hot glue to the crease of your flag. Then press ribbon on top. |
 |
| Next add hot glue on top of the ribbon and press flag down. |
 |
| Next glue the tips of your flag together. |
Do step 4 a lot.
Step 5: Hot glue ends of the ribbon back to make loops. Be careful not to close off the ribbon.
Step 6. Hang it up and enjoy your handy work.
