Amy's wedding in Mayo last year was the perfect mix of contemporary style and baroque grandeur. Purple and pink flowers added texture and romance, while black and white statement decor gave the whole look a modern edge. Compiled by Karen Birney

DIY Weddings: Papel Picado Flags

Thursday 1 September 2011 - DIY - Tags: None

A cute and easy DIY project to create your very own Papel Picado flags. Hang them in the church or drape them around you reception room to help add a splash of colour to your big day.

 Materials

·       Various colours of tissue paper – maybe in your wedding colour theme

·       Double sided tape or glue

·       Scissors

·       Ribbon

·       Paper for template

 Step-by-step

1. Fold paper for the template into 1/6s length-wise. Once paper is in 1/2, fold it into 1/3s.

 2. Cut small shapes along the folded sides of the template.

 3. Open to see if you like the pattern.

4. Then lay the template over the tissue paper, which should be folded in the exact same way the template is.

5. Cut the tissue in the same pattern as the template.

6. Unfold and repeat in the same way for other colours of tissue.

7. Lay ribbon out and stick different colour tissue flags side-by-side on the ribbon with the double sided tape or glue. Leave about enough space either side so the banner can be tied up.

8. Stick another piece of ribbon to the front side of the banner.

9. Now hang it up and stand back to admire all your 'hard' work!
