- wrapping paper or regular paper in letter size or A4 (if you use paper that is colored pretty on one side only, you’ll need to double the size of the paper and fold it in half first)

- wooden skewers
- scissors
- pen

They are so lovelies, aren’t they?
I did them last year, to my son’s party… but like centerpieces…
I wrote his name in the flag…

So cute a festive. I’ve pinned it on my craft board.
Pinning right NOW!
A D O R A B L E !
cute idea, I bet you could do this with scrap booking paper too.
Absolutely adorable. I love them so much. Just pinned them and I definitely plan to make them for an upcoming party!
They are very, very cool! I used to make those oragami boats with my Dad, and have made a few for my little boys to float… now I have a new use for them — hello nautical party! :) Thank you!

…sooo eine hübsche Idee, hach und das als Rot-Fan ;O)

Fabulous! We’ve done a few boat themed/nautical themed parties, but have new used bright wrapping paper and have never added the pennant flag! Yours are adorable! We once had mini paper boats floating in water at each place setting… check it out:
