Trim Broom

Cut excess raffia used to secure bunch to twig (Image 1). Trim bottom of broom (Image 2).

Make Paper Name Card

Measure and cut a 3" x 3/4" pennant-shaped piece out of a brown paper bag (Image 1) and cut a small triangle out of right end (Image 2). Write guest's name on card using a fine-tipped permanent marker (Image 3).

Affix Place Card

Apply bead of hot glue to top of twig (Image 1). Wrap left end of place card around twig, holding it in place until glue sets (Image 2). Tip: If desired, form paper banner into "S" shape by squeezing it gently with fingers (Image 3). This will give the flag the appearance of movement (Image 4).
