Instructions

Print all pages on 8.5×11″ paper or cardstock. I recommend cardstock for durability.
Color each flag and then cut each one out. You could also cut the flags out and then color them. There are a total of 12 flags in this banner.
Attach the flags to your string. There are a couple ways you can do this:
- Use a hole punch to punch a hole in the upper right and upper left corner of each flag. Thread your string through the holes of each flag to create your banner.
- Fold the top of each banner down (about half an inch) over the string and tape down the fold to hold the string in place.
Hang up your banner by taping or tying the ends of the string to a wall, mantle, doorframe or other surface.
