Assembly

• Lay the flags on a flat surface and decide the order they will hang. 

Tie a loop in each end to make it easy to hang your banner.

Thread one end of the rope through the top loops of each flag. I added 3 wooden beads between each flag as I threaded these together. Instead of beads you would tie bows of raffia, jute, fabric, or leave the rope plain.
