There are flags, buntings, windsocks and red white and blue patriotic decorations galore, and since the tragic events of Sept. 11, people are displaying them more than ever. This banner/wall hanging has been on our web site since that day. We've had many requests from our visitors for the Instructions to make it, so we've included them here.

This banner can be used inside your house, or outside as long as it is protected from wet weather. The ribbons are polyester and will be all right, but the felt isn't and could be a problem. However, it's the perfect display to hang on a protected door or on a wall beside the door under a porch roof.

What better way to decorate for the 4th of July than a banner such as this?
