Making a piece of history...get involved!

Whether you like it or not, it's coming to London in 2012....yes it's the summer Olympics! My opinion is you have more to gain from joining in than you have from being a Victor Meldrew so what better opportunity for those of you with a creative streak than to make a piece of Olympic art?

The idea is to make a pennant for an Olympic athlete (traditionally in sport, competitors exchange pennants as a sign of friendship) and hopefully there will be enough to present every athlete with one at the end of the games. That's alot of athletes by the way (apparently there were 12,000 in Beijing)!

For lots more information and guidelines on how and what to make click on the link below to go to where it's all happening:

The pennants will be displayed in various exhibitions before the games kick off, so here's a great chance to get your work on show! If you're not confident with your skills, there are step by step instructions, templates and lots of images of pennants already finished for inspiration. EVERYONE CAN GET INVOLVED!

 I think this is a fabulous idea and shall be making one and will display it here when it's finished...
