When we were planning the Mexican baby shower for my friend, I did a little online browsing to see if I could find any good ideas. I found some pictures with colorful, pennant-style banners and thought that would be cute. I found one that inspired me and went to the task!
I found some pre-cut pieces of scrapbook paper in my stash at home. I folded the top of them over to create a tunnel for the ribbon that I used to hang the banner. My son helped me staple the tops down.
Next, I made a decorative accent at the top of each sheet by cutting out the circular patterns from a scrap piece of paper.
I affixed the accents to the top with glue, trying to cover the middle staples in the process!
Then I made and cut letters out of other colorful paper and glued them down. I also glued a folded, customized sheet of bright tissue paper to the bottom of each sheet. My daughter fringed the tissue paper with scissors.
I made a couple, large tissue paper flowers to affix at each corner of the banner and strung a ribbon through the top tunnel of each letter sheet.
The result…
You could make a banner like this
for any special occasion!
LOVE!
