    \r\n
  1. To start, untie the hanging thread and put it to one side. Place a fabric banner onto a sheet of scrap paper.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Use a fabric paint stick to draw a coloured circle in the middle of the banner, pressing down firmly so the paint rubs into the surface of the fabric.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Working outwards from the middle of the banner, add more colours with paint sticks, drawing several circular bands to create a rainbow effect.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Colour around the edges of the banner so the fabric is completely covered.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Dip a paintbrush into the water, then rub it over the top of the design to merge the circles where the colours meet.<\/li>\r\n
  6. To permanently fix the colours with an iron, follow the instructions on the packaging.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Fold an old sheet or piece of cotton fabric and place it over the painted banner before ironing.<\/li>\r\n
  8. Rub a fabric paint pen over the hanging thread, or use several colours, then merge together with a damp sponge.<\/li>\r\n
  9. Finish the banner with coloured pompoms along the bottom edge; these can be stuck with fabric glue or a strip of thin double-sided tape.<\/li>\r\n
  10. Tie the hanging thread back onto the banner.<\/li>\r\n
  11. Decorate the banner with 3D fabric pens.<\/li>\r\n
  12. Glue sequins or gems onto the background. Or, for a tie-dye effect, after colouring the circles, use a white or pale fabric paint stick to draw lines radiating outwards before fixing the design with an iron.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
