Creating a garland

Method 1:

1. Take your harvested flags, size - A5 format, as it is optimal for use in everyday life.
2. There are two ways to form a garland. The first is to glue the workpieces with paper tape. Or to make a qualitative and reliable basis, which will not take much time, but nothing will happen to them.
3. Next, thread your figures with a needle on a thread or a fishing line, or the top edge is bent and stitched. In the second case, the line is passed through the hole formed along the upper edge of the flag.

Method 2:

This method is the use of pre-finished material. This means that you do not have to bother and make workpieces. Garlands are already sold with the holes made complete with any base - you will only have to collect and place the garland.

For a good example, we congratulate Katya on her birthday:

• We get such figures Katyusha - 6 flags, Happy birthday - 16 flags. We conclude that you only need 22 flags, you can add a couple more to make it more magnificent.

Important! One A4 sheet gives us 6 flags, take 24 flags and divide by 6, we need 4 sheets of A4.

• Next step. Cut out the triangles in this way: put the sheet vertically, make two marks on the top at a distance of 10 and 20 cm from the corner, and we proceed from below. Connect the marks with straight lines. Do all the same, only in the other direction. Next, connect the crosshairs of the lines.
• The third stage. We cut out our rounds, in which letters were printed. Well, quality and without lumps stick.
• Make holes, lay out in the right order, start decorate as your heart desires.
• Now string our flags on any base, divide the letters so that the same distance is left at the ends of the base.
