how to make a tissue paper flag banner {tutorial}

Here’s something I have learned about myself through putting all these tutorials on the blog: almost every one could be described as simple. Simple pillow. Simple paper flower. Simple embellished tshirt.

Today’s project is no different. Actually, it’s probably the simplest of all, which makes it one of my favorites because you can whip this out in just a few minutes.

Just the kind of projects I like.

I present you with: how to make a tissue paper flag banner.

These little flags were made at one am the night before Audrey’s party. I know, that’s crazy. I thought so too when I looked at the clock.  But they really made the table area festive and I’m so glad I did this.

Here’s what you need:

:: tissue paper {mine is from here}
:: twine
:: scissors, paper cutter and tape {oops, not shown}

STEP ONE: fold a stack of paper and cut in strips.

STEP TWO: unfold each strip and cut into desired rectangle size {mine are 6 x 8}

STEP THREE: cut notches out of the bottom of each rectangle

STEP FIVE: cut twine to desired length. Just string it up where you’ll hang your banner and add a few inches.

STEP SIX: tape the back of each flag to the twine, leaving a few inches between each flag.

Then hang!

See? Very simple. But very cute.
