Wave Your Flag

Check out this matching bunting for those ball jar lids I put up yesterday.
The craft paper we used for those ball jar lids came in a package and we decided to use the rest of that paper to make some bunting.
To make this you first need to decide how large you want your bunting flags to be. We decided to do small flags because we had small scrap booking paper squares.


First, fold your paper in half and use a ruler to decide how large the flag should be. Cut the flag out and leave the center fold (do not cut on the fold).

Be sure you find paper that you like- if you don't like the paper before you make the bunting you sure won't like it after!

Your flags should look like these- with a fold in the center. 

Using craft string fill the fold of the flags with glue and place the string in the center of the flag. Put just a dab of glue at the tip of the flag to keep the edges closed together. Continue this over and over again alternating your paper colors. Be sure to measure the space between each flag so that your bunting is evenly spaced.

Here is your final product! Let them dry lying flat before you try to hang them.
 Find a place to hang your bunting for your next party!
