Step-by-step

Step 1
You can see all the materials you need at a glance in our photo. For our design, we chose the classic edding 3000 marker with a medium wide nib. Pick your favourite colours from our range, now including brand new sets of 5 available in carefully coordinated shades. First, print out the template (it's best to use quite thick paper for this) and cut out all the parts that make up the garland.

Step 2
Use the permanent markers to decorate the individual flags with colourful stripes, swirls, dots – whatever takes your fancy. Fill in the letters in your chosen style, then colour in the stars.

Step 3
To make the bunting extra bright and cheerful, you can add a different pattern or colour to each flag.

Step 4
To finish off, punch a hole in each shape and carefully thread them onto the string. After making sure the letters are in the right order, hang up your garland in a prominent place where everyone can see it.
