This is how I make a paper banner.
directions:
1. Cut out circles and letters, about 3 or 4 inches.
2. Choose your ribbon color
3. Using adhesive, stick the letter to the circle
4. Hole punch two holes to the top of the circle to thread ribbon
5. Thread the ribbon through the top, leaving enough ribbon on each side to hang
6. Ta da, you’re ready to celebrate

Love this banner! Such a cute idea.
I love this! Especially the different prints for the letters. It’s simple and makes a big impact!
WHERE DO YOU GET THE LETTER CUT OUTS?
I make the letters myself with my Accucut die cut machine. But a Cricut would work too. Or you could use large sticker letters, or whatever you can find!
I love the great DIY tips.
Love the banners, am making one for a first birthday this weekend. How do people hang them? Tape? Tacks? Nails? I actually need to adhere it to a glass wall and am wondering if I can really do it?!? And it’s larger scale (12 inch circles) since the area is so big. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Sara: I normally use double sided tape or I tie the ribbon onto something. I have used tacks to hold a banner in place on something wooden. Just depends on if you want a hole there. Good luck! A big banner sounds so fun.
I loved your raggedy ann banner so much that i decided to make one for my sister’s baby shower in melbourne australia but I am totally stuck on how you have joined each letter together. I used double sided tape and although it didn’t move or pivot well, it just fell apart because of the heat here so I had to blu-tac it to the window! But I am wanting to join it together properly so she can hang it on the wall in hospital & in the baby’s room when he arrives. I can’t use pins because they are visable, any other suggestions?
Kylie: I guess I didn’t make the directions very clear in that tutorial. I punched holes in the top of each circle and strung ribbon through the holes. However, I now punch a smaller hole on the sides and use colored brads (I don’t know what those are called in Australia) to attach the circles together. This allows the banner to pivot really well and I don’t have to use so much ribbon. Let me know if you have anymore questions
I love the pink and black combination. Very creative
what kind of paper do you use for such a banner?
How can you get perfect circles w/o having to purchase any fancy/expensive Cricut machines? My daughter’s 3rd Birthday is this Saturday. EEK! Help!
soooo adorable! thanks for sharing!
