Create Dussehra bunting with short messages about courage, kindness and new beginnings. Repeated paper flags suit a balcony wall, reading corner or family photo backdrop. Keep the lettering large enough to read and use personal wishes rather than treating every message as a traditional festival ritual.

Helpful tips 💡
- Use short lengths and secure loose cord ends.
- Use thicker scrap paper, attach flags with removable clips and avoid writing the year on every piece. Store flat in a labelled envelope and replace only damaged flags.
Plan ahead
Write a short message first and count the flags needed. Prepare a card template and measure the display width, leaving space for the fixing at each end.
