From paper to project

  1. Cut a 2 × 14 cm card strip.

  2. Fold 4 cm into a foot, leaving a 10 cm upright.

  3. Add a second layer to the upright if needed.

  4. Cut a 5 × 3 cm flag.

  5. Glue it near the top without covering the base edge.

  6. Test on the table and keep clear of food and the table edge.

Check it with an example

A 10 cm upright and light flag need a flat foot. Increase the foot to 6 cm if it leans rather than adding weight to the decoration.

If it does not turn out as expected

Do not substitute a pin for the stand. This is an independent decorative piece, not an accessory to insert into food.
