     3. Open to see if you like the pattern.

    4. Then lay the template over the tissue paper, which should be folded in the exact same way the template is.

    5. Cut the tissue in the same pattern as the template.

    7. Lay ribbon out and stick different colour tissue flags side-by-side on the ribbon with the double sided tape or glue. Leave about enough space either side so the banner can be tied up.

    8. Stick another piece of ribbon to the front side of the banner.

    9. Now hang it up and stand back to admire all your 'hard' work!
