Information

      a garland that you can always use for birthday parties
I have adjusted the size of the individual flags so that I get 6 pieces on an A4
I still had a lot of wood in A4 size
so you only need 3 pieces in A4 for the garland

Instruction

Step1: creating the flags

Preview

create a rectangle
select edit node
click in the middle of the bottom line to add another node
select this node and drag it down
it is handy to use the grid from Xtool to get a uniformity

Step2: make the hole´s

Preview

create a small circle and place it in the top corner
copy this and place it in the other corner
to make sure that the two circles are at the same height select both and choose vertical align center
select everything and group it

Step3: fill it with text and align

Preview

look for a font that you like
i recommend one that is thick to make the text expressive
fine lines look nice but here I think thick is better
choose a size - for me it is 200
as soon as you have a letter
click on a flag and the letter and choose horizontal align center

Step4: add extra flags

Preview

you can of course also create extra flags with suitable symbols
