Measure the curve before cutting the cord
The distance between two supports is not the length of a hanging garland. Plan its curve with a trial cord and add the fixing ends separately. The example uses invented measurements, not a physical test of the printable.

1. Choose suitable supports and a safe height. Keep cords away from small children and do not place them over a cot, a passageway or a heat source.
2. Try the drop with an uncut cord or flexible tape. Mark where the flag-carrying section ends; do not straighten the curve to measure it as a chord.
3. Measure the flags actually printed and count them. Allow gaps, check that they fit within the marked section, and keep the fixing ends clear.
4. Measure along the trial cord, add both ends and cut only after checking the route. Test the attachment on the actual supports before mounting every piece.

Fictional route: Supports are 2,000 mm apart. The trial cord following the curve measures 2,180 mm between the marks.
Separate fixing ends: 150 mm each in this plan: 2,180 + 150 + 150 = 2,480 mm before any additional reserve you choose.
Flag-space check: 12 flags measured at 140 mm and 11 gaps of 30 mm occupy 12 × 140 + 11 × 30 = 2,010 mm. This leaves 170 mm within the 2,180 mm route.
What the drawing cannot establish: The curve is conceptual and not to scale. Paper strength, cord, knots and the fixing surface need checking in the real assembly.
