DIY: Super Easy Custom Banner


Making your own custom banner couldn't be much easier -

gather your supplies:
  • ribbon hole punch (though a standard hole punch would work)
  • small circle punch (scissors would do the trick as well)
  • ribbon (thin enough to go through the hole punched by your ribbon hole punch)
  • sticker make (glue stick would work)
  • scrap scrapbook paper
  • punch out letter (I get mine at the Dollar Tree)

step 1. punch out the letters you want for your banner


step 2. use the ribbon punch to punch holes in the top of your letters


step 3. repeat until all you letters have holes at the top (duh)


step 4. use the small circle punch to punch out small circles from your scrap scrapbook paper


step 5. punch as many circles as you have holes in the tops of your letters


step 6. run your small circles through your sticker maker


step 7. cut ribbon to desired length


step 8. thread your letters onto the ribbon


step 9. space out your letters to your liking and then use your circle stickers to secure the ribbon in place on the back side of the letters


Ta Da! You have yourself a custom banner in under 5 minutes!

I got the letters in a pack at the Dollar Tree, they have a bunch of different colors and the letters are preferated, so you just have to punch them out - out of the one pack of letters I made 2 banners and a sign for my nephews baseball game.
