Frequently asked questions

Tissue paper or cardstock?

Tissue paper looks more traditional and flutters in the breeze. Cardstock is more durable and won't tear if used outdoors. Pick based on whether you want delicate or sturdy.

How do I attach pennants to the line?

Fold the top edge over the twine and glue or staple in place. The fold creates a clean hanging edge.
