How to Use the Banner
Okay, let’s talk setup. This banner is super easy to assemble no crafting genius required. Here’s how I like to do it:
-
Print all 18 pages from the PDF. (Cardstock works best, but regular paper totally does the trick too!)
-
Cut out each flag along the outline.
-
Use a hole punch in the top corners of each flag.
-
Thread some twine, ribbon, or yarn through each flag to string them together.
-
Hang it up! Across a mantel, above the food table, on a porch, over your front door wherever your party needs a splash of stars and stripes.
Pro tip: You don’t have to use all 18 flags. You can shorten it to just “Happy 4th” or break it into two lines “Happy” on top and “4th of July” below. Totally customizable!
