I was talking with a friend who needed the help of a crafty lady to create a banner for a baby shower. So with a plan and a trip to Hobby Lobby, we headed home to get to work.
We bought: two boxes of cardboard letters, 6 sheets of two different print 12x12 scrapbook paper, glue dots or glue sticks and ribbon to match the paper.
First, choose which sheet you want as your backing to the circles. I chose the plaid pattern so that the pink letters would stand out. These circles are about four inches wide.
I made one for every letter and put a three inch pink circle on top of it. After glueing those together, I punched two holes about an inch apart for the yarn and then adhered the cardboard letter to the circles with a glue dot.
Each circle then looked like this.
Once you have all the letters and circles done, string them on to the ribbon by going through the back of the left hole and into the front of the right one. You can space them out however you like. I like to hang them in a curve so they are pretty close together.
I leave the same amount of room at the ends of the ribbon, tie a pretty knot and you ta-da,
you have a banner!
Happy crafting!
