Illusions are always difficult to photograph, as are red and white combinations. In real-life the lettering is very striking when you view this banner from either side. When you look straight on the front you only see narrow red and white stripes.
I used a white sparkly yarn for an even more festive effect but the sparkles aren’t showing in the photo.
The banner is about 15 cm (6”) wide and 110 cm (44”) long. You could easily add extra to each end to make it long enough to be a scarf. The white edging is optional.
