  Step 1

  Grab a load of plastic bags in lots of different colours. My favourite ones are the H&M bags.

• 

  Step 2

  On a piece of card draw a template of the flags you want and cut it out.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut along the seam of the bag and cut the handles so you can lay it flat to draw on.

• 

  Step 4

  Draw your templates on the bag. make sure you use as much space as you can and don't waste the bag. ( I know I didn't in this picture but i did with the others! Some bags make about 20 flags.)

• 

  Step 5

  Cut out all the flags.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat this with lots of other different bags. Here I have a swag shop bag (yellow one). A game bag (purple and white). A blue bag (dunno where that came from). A thorntons bag (white). A H&M bag (dark green) and a M&S bag (light green).

  Step 7

  Grab a flag and put a strip of glue on the edge of it.

  Sorry about Kristen Stewart being in the background, i was using a magazine to save the table from being mucky.

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the edge down and hold it so you know it will dry.

• 

  Step 9

  Make sure you leave a gap so you can put the string through.

• 

  Step 10

  Do this with all the others.

• 

  Step 11

  Tie a knot in the end of the string and start threading all the flags on. I did all mine in patterns.

• 

  Step 12

  Once they are all on you will have beautiful decorations to hang anywhere you want!
