How To
To cut the triangular flags:
First cut the paper in half (mark at 6 inches along left and right sides, and cut across). For each set of triangles, measure along the top edge, marking at 2 inches, then 4 inches, and another 4 inches; on the bottom edge, mark at 4 inches and then 4 inches. Cut between marks to make triangles.

Alternative method: Print the flag template from Martha Stewart Weddings (triangle flag template, circular flag template). and cut out. Cut paper in half, and then lay strips face down on a cutting surface. Lay the template on the wrong side of the paper, and mark the corners. Then cut.
To assemble the banner:
Punch a hole at each top corner of every flag, and thread the ribbon through.
This DIY is for paper banners, but any material can be used, like cloth or burlap stringed with jute twine etc.
