Making the Banner

Paint each page with watercolour. Dab some water and then add some paint with paintbrush. Add more water, as you paint the whole surface. The effect must be uneven and watery. Tilt the pages so some paint runs down a bit. Let dry.

Use your computer and printer to print out letters forming the sentence or a word. Alternatively, you can use a black permanent marker to write letters from hand.

Use hot glue to attach the pages on the organza ribbon.
