I’m gonna file this under preschooler, because Julian and I had a good time making this adorable paper flag banner for his room, but I’ll also tag it with prenatal, because I made a similar flag banner for Scarlett’s room before she was born. I made the one for Scarlett out of fabric, though.
The picture here is of the results you get if you use the kit sold by the Paper Source. The ingredients for the kit are so basic, you can really just do it on your own. Then end result is a colorful string of flags that can be tacked up on a wall for a quick, festive decoration.
What you need:
1) enough scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper, or magazine pages from which to cut 15 flags.
2) enough string to accommodate 15 hanging flags.
3) a glue stick
Cut this shape out of your selected paper.
Bend over the top portion so that the sides line up with the sides of the bottom triangle. And please excuse my Photoshopping.
Apply glue to the touching parts of the paper.
Place the flap over your string and press together so that your flag is glued in place.
Repeat.

Wow, such a cute, simple way to brighten up a room.
You could do so many cool things with this.
Great craft for older kiddos too.

Simple, but splashy! And I love “you da mom’s” suggestion of Mexican bingo cards. Thanks!
Genius! I love this idea and will share it with my friends.
What a fabulous project! There are so many different ways this could be used. I’m thinking of making a birthday banner for my daughter’s upcoming first birthday. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks!
