Color and Flag Garlands

I put the lights in.  They're so easy to use and they add a great touch.

I've also put color on the background and made garlands of little paper flags.  I just have the garlands taped on for now to decide where I want them.  To make the garlands, I punch holes in the top two corners of each flag and then threaded them alternately with small two- or four-hold buttons.

So far, so good.

I really like this way of working - start out with a concept then take it slowly, a step at a time, deciding on the next step at each step along the way.  There's a lot of contemplation involved, but I think it works better than trying to plan the whole thing out from the beginning.  I think it gives more room for ideas.
