Method
- Roll each packet of crepe paper out to its full width
- Lay the crepe paper lengths side by side, overlapping slightly
- Use 3 whole lengths of crepe paper to make a background for your message.
- Carefully use a glue stick to glue each roll together (press gently so you don’t rip the paper. Liquid glue will leave a stain)
- Place you letters on the banner and space as you like
- Glue the back of each letter and press onto the banner to secure in place
- Once finished attach to poles using tape (poles are available in the clubhouse; attach on the day)
Your finished banner may look something like this:
