4th Of July Banner

4th Of July Banner
Happy 4th of July everyone!!  Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!
I've been working on this banner and finished it just in time for the 4th Of July!

Instructions: Cut a piece of paper 5" wide and 11" long.

Score the paper every 1-3/8"

Fold the paper so the 2 ends are facing up. The 3 center pieces will be folded up.
So you will have 3 peaks and 4 valleys.

Staple the flower in the middle. Then Cut an angle on each end of the paper.
Lay the paper with the 3 peaks facing away from you then cut the angles.

This is how it will look from the top view.

Bring the 2 end pieces together and glue to form a half flower.

Bring the other 2 ends together and glue to form the full flower.

The stars were cut with Cricut Design Space.

The star is cut from Cricut fonts and Basic Shapes cartridge.

They were cut 2" wide by 1.9" high.

I used the star shadow to decorate the banner.
