Diamond Jubilee street party: how to make festive food flags Scissors PVA glue Coloured pens Pencil Ribbon, stickers, glitter (if you want to decorate further) Wooden lollipop sticks (or toothpick sticks) Double sided sticky tape Food flags can be put in anything from jelly to cakes to sausage rolls Method: The design of your food flag can be up to you and you can be as creative as you like - the more colourful the better! But here is the basic way to make a food flag: Draw a long rectangle on your piece of card. The length should be about 15cm (6 in). Width about 5cm (2in). Cut out your rectangle and fold in half. Cut a triangle out on the open sides of the folded rectangle. The shape should look like the picture above. Write what food the flag is for on one side. Decorate as you would like. Pop your stick in the crease of the folded rectangle. Stick double-sided sticky tape over the stick. Remove the other side of the double-sided tape. Press the two sides of the card together. There you have your festive food flag!
