Uber easy to do, I rummaged round my scrap stash and found some colours and patterns that I liked together (I keep even the littlest of scraps so I had quite a choice). Next I drew a paper triangle pattern the size I liked - the best proportions I found was baically an isosoles triangle where the length was the same as the width (mine were 14cm along the top and then I measured 14cm down from the mid-point along the top) and added an extra 1.5cm x 14cm rectangle on top of the triangle which

Then we cut out zillions of triangles and sewed them right sizes together leaving the top open, this turned into great practise for leaving the needle in the fabric to turn a point! Also she learnt pinning and the great importance of RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER, only one wrongly pinned triangle ;-) We turned them out the right way and sewed them into a length of ribbon folded in half - bias tape would have worked well but I didn't have any in the house!
Et voila, easy-peasy, cute and cheerful for a summer tea, a quick easy sewing project for a six year old AND finished in an afternoon.
