7. Now, you are ready to decorate! Use the smallest Banner
Framelit to cut banners. You can do DSP
or stamped images. Attach each to the top of the tent. Repeat for the opposite side. Add a small
twine or ribbon bow to each end of the banners. And that’s it! I hope you find lots of fun ways to make
these throughout the summer.
