This is the perfect chance to get the kids (especially Cub Scouts) involved with decorations for a celebratory supper, whether for a Blue & Gold banquet or another holiday.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. On the right side of the blue construction paper, about 1" from the short side, make a mark about 1 1/2" from the top (long side) of the paper.
2. Measure down about 1 1/2" and make another mark.
3. Repeat until you have 5 marks.
4. Cut a slit on each of the 5 marks about 1" from the right (short) side), going towards the middle about 1 3/4" long.
5. Cut a strip of yellow construction paper 1 1/2" wide by the length of the paper.
6. Cut a V shape in one short end of the yellow strip. This is the ribbon.
7. Weave the ribbon through the place mat.
