this is from the little mans little b-day party. see the banner behind him? i made it. that afternoon. super easy
and here's how:
you'll need...
scissors, glue, hole punch
cut out letters for what you're spelling out (i used my cricut)
paper star bursts
paper bunting triangles
twine
foam dots
old christmas cards
for my starbursts i used my cricut yet again.
to make my bunting triangles i took a 12x12 and cut it in half.
then each half i cut at 7 1/2 inches, eyeballed the middle and cut it diagonally
it's not a perfect triangle, but it's home made.
here's where the christmas cards come in... take your triangles and glue them onto the christmas card, then cut w/ your scissors. this gives the triangles more durability so it will last longer and stand up to multiple uses.
take your starbursts and glue your letters on. i chose to put them in a pattern. but random could be cute if your patterned paper is all the same.
i wanted a fun 3-dimentional look to the banner, so i added paper dots instead of just gluing my starburst letters to the triangles. these are double sided so it sticks to both!
i did chose to put the patterned triangles in a pattern as well, so i laid out the pattern and then started gluing in order.

hole punch each corner of each triangle penant and thread your twine thru.
