Description

Anything that can be folded and snipped into a pennant-shape can become a flag. Use to festoon anything from cupcakes to sandcastles.

Instructions

  1. Small 110377 2f2015 08 11 165916 elysemajor cupcakepix 2

    Format a word processing document so that you have a list of words, left-justified in a column running down the center of the page. Allow space between each word. Experiment with fonts, colors and sizes. Print the document and crease, allowing for a short margin between edge and word.

  2. Small 110377 2f2015 08 11 170253 elysemajor cupcakepix 3

    Snip two angles to form an elongated triangle shape; once cut you should have something that unfolds into a diamond.

  3. Small 110377 2f2015 08 11 170410 elysemajor cupcakepix 4

    Place a toothpick into the opened diamond, add a bit of glue and close. Smooth gently into place.

    Decorate with gems. If using for food, keep the lower portion of the toothpick free of glue. Variation: Use decorative paper, candy wrappers, any kind of fun graphic paper
