You'll need:
- Coloured cardboard: A4 is the best size as it's ready-made to the perfect size once you fold it over. Paper works as well although is slightly lighter so will wave a little more in the breeze!
- Scissors
- A paintbrush if you wish to spread runny glue
- Glue
- Fishing wire
1. Fold the paper 2. Cut out letters keeping the top fold uncut
3. Glue the two halves of each letter 4. Thread onto wire
Step one
Fold the paper in half lengthways.
Step two
Using the fold as the top of each letter, cut out individual letters freehand. Make sure you leave the top of the letter connected at the fold so you can open the letterĀ like a card. Keep each word grouped in a pile.
Step three
Open each letter and apply glue to both sides of the fold. With a long length of fishing wire, place one end (leave about a metre to hang) of the wire on the fold.
Step four
Close the letter, pressing the glued area so it sticks.
Step five
Once dry, hang from the ceiling or architraves using white masking tape so it blends with the paint.
