Happy Birthday!

This banner turned out to be HUGE! I had a hard time getting a good photo of the entire thing. Hope you can see enough to get a good idea! Each panel is roughly 4x5 inches and they are tied together with bits of ric-rac. REALLY easy project! Hand piece a cake or cupcake to separate the words, and you're done! If you're interested in complete instructions, feel free to PM me via the message board (Suzuyuki).

Enjoy the party! And Happy Birthday, Martha!
