Materials:

  • ribbon
  • plastic badminton birdies (check the dollar store!)

Tutorial:

1. While length of ribbon is still attached to spool, create a loop (for hanging) and knot. DIY birdie garland tutorial at diyshowoff.com

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.
