Why buy a generic banner when you can make one to suit the parties needs and save money! You can use practically any paper or material that allows for cutting.
These banners are great for :
- Holidays
- Birthday parties
- Religious events
- Bridal / baby showers
- Festivals
Here is how I made Jeff's birthday banner:
What I used:
- Paper ( white and blue).3-4 pieces each . They were left over from another project I did at work.
- A glue stick
- ruler
- red marker
- black yarn
- scissors
- sharpie marker
- hole puncher
First begin by making a triangle out of any materials you are using ( i.e paper). Cut two different sizes so one can frame the other for a cleaner look. Use the first two triangles as templates to trace the rest. I needed to make 13 sets for "Happy Birthday".
After cutting and tracing all the triangles use a glue stick to combine the sets. After this you can use a marker, glitter, paint or whatever you want to write out the letters on each triangle. I also outlined the smaller triangle with a sharpie for definition.
Once you've created all the triangles with their assigned letter take a piece of yarn, string, etc. and tie a knot at one end. Punch two holes on each end of the triangle and string the letters on the string.
Finish the banner off with glitter, stickers or any other material you have!
Enjoy! And save your banner for years to come.
