hi andrea- you definitely don't need to sew them, although if you like that look & don't have a sewing machine, you can hand-stitch them. the sewing for me was an additional adhesive as well as decorative, but i'm sure craft glue would get the job done. i might put glue on the dowel, wrap the paper, and secure with a few more dabs of glue. hold on to it for a few seconds so it doesn't slip crooked.

Love that combination of fonts! Do you know the names of the fonts you used?

I don't want rice/confetti/crap all over our grass in our backyard so I am TOTALLY doing this. And I say Yay all the time anyways so it'll be perfect.
Thanks!

I would like to do this and have all the elements except for the sweing machine. Do you need to sew them. will it not work with just the craft glue?

Oh how I wish I had a Yudu now so I could do a similar thing on some ribbon strips! This reminds me of those cute flags you get from Medival Times. So tempted to do this, I think it's a great sub for rice/confetti!

Oh my goodness i LOVE this idea! we've been looking at venues who are really picky about what can and can't be used for the departure and i was beginning to lose hope on finding something! so THANK YOU!!

you can do the double-sided tape around the dowel (i used glue), then secure it from the outside by hand sewing it if you want a similar look to mine. best advise is to do some tests. try the tape and see if it holds well enough for a few hours of waving. good luck!
