How to make... Emergency Bunting

We all know what happens...

You have a Birthday/Graduation/Home-coming/Halloween/Diamond Jubilee/Olympic Ceremony

(delete where applicable) 

and you darned well forgot to purchase your Cath Kidston Bunting at £1squillion a yard.

Not to worry, help is at hand....

Use this simple guide for all your 

Emergency Bunting needs!

You will need:

Some colourful paper

A pencil and ruler

Scissors

A hole punch

Some string

Something to celebrate

Cake (optional)

Take a sheet of paper, mark the middle of the long side by loosely folding in half and pinching to crease at the side, mark the crease with a pencil. Then mark the centre of each of these halves by loosely folding again and lightly pinching this time at the other side... Join your marks up by using a ruler.

I hope this makes sense, I have included a photo to show you.

I used a sharpie to show in the photo better, but you should use a light pencil mark

Cut along your lines, this will give you 3 equal sized triangle flags.

Use a hole punch to make holes at the top

Repeat the with the other sheets of paper (use one you have already made as a template)

Thread the flags together using a nice long piece of string.

Pin them up and eat cake.

This is a nice rainy afternoon craft to do with kids.

Try black and orange bunting for halloween

Kids like to decorate the flags with pictures and stickers
