Tutorial:
1. While length of ribbon is still attached to spool, create a loop (for hanging) and knot.
2. Remove caps off of all birdies (mine simply popped off).
3. Using the package (or ruler) determine distance between each birdie (starting from the knotted loop).
4. Fold ribbon and ‘snip’ with scissors your measured mark. Just a small snip will do.
5. Place snipped area of ribbon over ‘peg’ on birdie top.
6. Replace birdie cap.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 using all of your birdies.
8. Then simply measure same short ribbon distance one last time, add a few more inches. Cut ribbon, create a loop and knot for the end.
9. Hang! Summer outdoor family game themed. Super cute (easy and cheap too)!
Fun Fact:
Did you know the official name for a badminton birdie is actually a “shuttlecock”? It gets it’s name from the way it “shuttles” back and forth across the net and it’s resemblance to a traditional featured “cock” (rooster) used in old fashioned games. But let’s be honest… “birdie” is a way cuter name for decor!
