Project Instructions
Step: 1
Make about 30 points - Make half of the point with textured silver metallic 1 ½ inch ribbon. For the other half layer black 1 ½ inch ribbon with green ½ inch ribbon with silver edges down the center. Attach to backing in a double row - attaching the 15 with the green stripe spaced evenly around cardboard backing and adding the other 15 points in between.
Step: 2
Prepare flower and attach to the backing with the points.
Step: 3
Make a backing with basic double backing streamers in green and black - take 1 piece of each color of the 2 yard ribbons, lay one on top of the other and fold in ½ so that the right side of the ribbon still shows on both sides (the top will form a point). Then staple the point onto another cardboard backing circle in 2 rows of 5 double streamers, overlapping slightly.
Step: 4
Make a “Homecoming” loop streamer - take the 6 inch pieces of 1 ½ inch wide black ribbon, fold in ½ and staple to form loop. Staple loops on 1 yard piece of 1 ½ inch black ribbon starting at bottom and slightly overlapping to cover staples. Put 1 silver glitter sticker letter on each loop to spell “HOMECOMING 03.” Staple on mum in center front of streamers.
