Steps (12 steps, 120 minutes)
-
1
Grab a load of plastic bags in lots of different colours. My favourite ones are the H&M bags.
-
2
On a piece of card draw a template of the flags you want and cut it out.
-
3
Cut along the seam of the bag and cut the handles so you can lay it flat to draw on.
-
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.)
-
5
Cut out all the flags.

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).

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.

8
Fold the edge down and hold it so you know it will dry.

9
Make sure you leave a gap so you can put the string through.
-
10
Do this with all the others.
-
11
Tie a knot in the end of the string and start threading all the flags on. I did all mine in patterns.

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