Birthday Banner

I still can't believe a certain little boy is almost 1! And just to make sure everyone else knows who the birthday boy is, I whipped up this little project....


I used the same color card stock from the garland I made and cut each sheet in half to get two long strips. I folded each in half and cut out a pennant shape (like below). Then I cut the letters of Baby B's name out of contrasting card stock and glued one on each pennant with elmer's glue. I just free-handed my letters, but you could also print some out.


 I used the same string from my garland project to string my pennants together.


 I put two dots of hot glue near the fold of each flag and stuck down the string.


 I put another small dot near the the bottom to keep the flag closed a little better. Then I just folded down the top flap to close it up.


 And I ended up with this cool name banner! (that I didn't manage to get a clear picture of. my bad.) It was really simple, cheap project and it will make a great background for birthday pictures!


But for now it just sits in my basket of birthday decorations, waiting for it's big debut. ;)
