Comments: 0 | Rating: 0.00

Make this traditional decoration before a Cinco de Mayo party or include it as a craft activity. Tissue paper fiesta flags are simple enough for kids, and they will love seeing the finished project in use.
Directions
- Fold 9 x 12 rectangles of tissue paper in half.
Supplies
- Multicolored tissue paper cut into 9 x 12 rectangles
- Scissors
- Single hole punch (or decorative craft punch if you have one available)
- Fishing line
- Clear tape
- Use scissors to cut a scallop border along the unfolded edges.
- Use a single-hole punch (or craft punch) to create designs through both layers of tissue paper.
- Hang each folded sheet over fishing line. The folded edge should hold them in place, but you use tape to secure if needed.
Thank you!
