How to Create Your Own Banner?

Let s kick off with one of the simplest and most traditional ways to create your own banner – with paper. Paper banners are cheap, easy to make, and fun to customize with all sorts of colors, patterns, and designs.

Before you get into the nitty-gritty of actually making your banner, you’ll need to plan it out a little. Think about what you want it to say – since you’ll have to piece it all together yourself, opting for a short message could save you a lot of time – and sketch out a rough idea of how you want it to look.

You’ll also need to gather all the necessary supplies to create your own banner:

• Paper – opt for paper that is pretty or decorative in some way, like wallpaper, scrapbook paper, or colored paper
• Scissors
• An adhesive, like glue or sticky tape
• A hole punch
• Some optional embellishments to jazz up your design, like glitter, buttons, and ribbons
• Some string, raffia, or roping to suspend your banner from

Instructions

With all the gear gathered and your design ready to go, it’s time to get to work! Here’s how to create your pretty paper banner in just a few simple steps:

1. Cut out paper backgrounds for each piece of your banner.
2. Cut out a front layer (using a different style of paper) that you’ll place over the background to provide depth.
3. Cut out the individual letters that make up your message – again, use a different type or color of paper for this to help the letters stand out. Alternatively, you could just print out the letters directly onto your front layer paper to save some time and hassle.
4. Using your adhesive of choice, attach the front layers to the background pieces, and then stick the letters on top. Both glue and tape work well, so it’s up to you which you choose.
5. (Optional) Use your embellishments to add extra decoration to each piece, and give them time to dry.
6. Punch some holes in the top left and right corners of each piece of the banner.
7. Use your ribbon or string to link the pieces together, before suspending your banner across a wall, mantelpiece, or other part of the room – again, you can use tape for this or tie the ends of the string around thumbtacks.

If you want to create your own banner that’s a little longer-lasting than a paper option and can be reused again and again, a felt banner could be right for you.

Preparation and Planning

Before you start stitching and sewing and cutting the felt for your banner, you’ll need to decide on a design. Just like with the paper banner, it’s best to stick to shorter messages so you don’t have to spend too long putting the whole thing together.

You’ll also need some supplies:

• Letter templates – you can either make your own or download them from the internet
• Felt in various colors
• Scissors
• Glue
• An iron
• Some string, ribbon, or twine
• A needle or some clothespins
• Freezer paper

Instructions

Once you’ve got all the items you need, here’s how to create your own banner from felt:

1. Print or prepare your templates.
2. Cut out the backing pieces of each section of your banner in one felt color.
3. Trace the letters you want to use onto freezer paper, and iron it to your felt.
4. Use scissors to cut out the shapes and peel away the freezer paper.
5. Stick your felt letters onto the backing pieces.
6. Use a needle and some thread to string all the pieces together, or punch holes in each piece and thread some ribbon through.
