World Citizen Table Skirt/Banner (New Format)

This lovely piece of fabric serves multiple functions. It is sized perfectly to hang in front of or behind your literature display, but it is also big enough to carry in a parade. With big, bold lettering proclaiming “The Baha’i Faith” it is an easy way to identify yourselves both at a booth or in a parade. Add matching World Citizen T-shirts, and you have a coordinated look.

In case you can’t read it on your phone, the banner also has the phrase “The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.”

World Citizen is such an effective theme that we’ve made it available in many different forms. Click here to see them all. The image of the earth with rays of light on the horizon is also used on our “Who Are the Baha’is” pamphlet and “Baha’i Teachings for a Hopeful Future.”

Please note that, though the design is the same as our previous World Citizen Table Skirt, this is not the same. The picture of the table display is the previous edition. 

This Table Skirt/Banner is actually a single piece of polyester fabric with a 36×60″ (3×5′) rectangle of the design printed on it, with a white border around the edge. Sixty inches is the same width of our previous World Citizen table skirt as well as our current “One Light Many Lamps” table skirt.  It is sized to hang from a 28″ tall table that is at least 5′ long. There will be 8″ at the top to rest on the top of the table.  To give you a better idea of how it will come, I’ve included a picture of our Unfolding Revelation Table Skirt, which is designed the same way.

First, I highly recommend ironing it fabric so it looks nice on the table. Then it can be used exactly as it is (or you can hem it to remove the extra white fabric edge in one of several ways:

Simply fold the excess back and tape it in place.
If you don’t plan on using it very often, you can just cut the excess off. It will not fray very much.
You can run a 1/4″ ribbon of clear glue along the back at the edge of the design, then cut it with scissors when it dries.
You can iron one-sided fusion tape on the back and then trim.
You can surge or zig-zag sew the edge.
You can do a full sewn hem.

It all depends on how long you want it to last, and what your crafting skill level is.

The extra fabric at the top is nice because it can keep it from sliding off the table. You can tape it in place, or lay a table cloth aross it before adding pamphlets and give-aways.

You can also fold the top over to make a pocket hem to slide a dowel rod through and carry it as a banner in a parade.

Here’s an idea: Using either this banner or our World Citizen flag as a backdrop, encourage people to take selfies of themselves, then reward them with a button, sticker, tattoo or awareness bracelet, or even print their picture and hang it on a wall of world citizens. Some communities are also making physical frames with “World Citizen” or the quotation that people can pose behind with the flag, banner, or a map behind them.
