Flags are an easy way to add a little extra something to your cupcakes, sandwiches, whoopie pies, etc. You can make them out of paper but did you know that you can make them out of ribbon, too? You can see a couple of examples here and here. Take a look at a tutorial from Peach and Pearl here.
These were food description cards made with a heart-shaped punch, card stock and IKEA wrapping paper that I used in a tea party last year. I loved how quick they were to make!
Details I provided at a baby shower last fall: flags used for food description, drink parasols and drink name tags (Paper Source card stock and pink Divine Twine).
