When camping it is great to get into the festival spirit fully and decorate your tents, so creating a garland to hang is the perfect option. With so many awful things happening in the world at present, the peace sign is such a powerful statement - one that should be celebrated and worn with pride. We need to unite together and show that love will always win over hate! Whether you hang this on your tent, in your garden or in your bedroom, creating your own peace sign is a great way to show your love to the world!
