Re-purposing a Japanese Nobori

Many years ago, a friend gifted me with this vintage Nobori.  It hung outside in my back yard until I decided that I wasn't enjoying it because I couldn't see it
(lightbulb) It was getting thin and brittle so in handling it, I tore a section.  Not wanting to waste any of it, I turned it into a modified Noren...now I see it all the time and I remember fondly, Mike, who was a japanophile.
