On the march

These bold banners have a fabulous translucent quality when the light shines through them. Miranda Walker shows you how to make a splash. Fun to work on and fantastic to look at, bold, colourful banners can bring out the creativity of children. Large banners are particularly enjoyable to make, as several children can work on them at the same time. They're great for brightening up your club and are ideal to use as decorations for a special event.
