Taco Banners
Get festive for Cinco de Mayo
Materials
Craft foam or construction paper yellow, brown, red and orange
Green tissue paper
String
Scissors
Glue gun
Directions
Cut large circles out of the yellow foam about 5 inches wide. Cut as many as you need to create your desired length of banner
Cut small half circle shapes out of the red foam so that you have 3 “tomatoes” per taco
Cut larger half circle shapes out of the brown foam so that it spans most of the length of the folded over yellow foam to create the “meat.” You need one per taco
Cut thin strips of orange foam to create many pieces of “cheese” so that you have 4-5 per taco.
Cut rectangles of green tissue paper so that you have one piece per taco
To assemble the taco banner, scrunch the tissue paper to create the appearance of “lettuce.” Glue it to the top of a yellow circle so that it sticks above the “shell” when the yellow foam is folded over.
Glue the brown piece on top of the tissue paper, followed by the red pieces and orange pieces. All of the toppings should be visible if you fold over the yellow circle.
Cut the string to your desired length. Leaving several inches out, lay the string across the toppings and glue in place.
Glue on top of the string and fold over the yellow foam to complete the taco. Hold in place until the glue dries. Repeat across the entire string to finish the taco garland.
