DIY Christmas Banner
Learn how to make a fun and easy DIY Christmas Banner. I’ve got a couple free printables you can use too! All you need are a couple of supplies and about 30 minutes. Decorate your mantel, add a holiday message to your front door, and even add your own photos to the banner! What I love most about this banner is how easy it is to customize. Just pick your favorite holiday colors and add accents to the letters you print. I’ll show you how!
Equipment
- Glue
- Pencil
- Twine I used a gold sparkle twine
What You Will Need
- Printable Alphabet
- Printable Holly template
- Red tissue paper
- Green and Red Cardstock
Instructions
- Print out the letters you want to use. I like to print one letter, then flip the paper over and print another letter on the same sheet. If you’d like a smaller banner, just adjust the print size.
- Fold a couple pieces of red tissue paper to about the size of a single letter pennant.
- Trace the pennant shape on to the tissue paper. Cut out the pennant shape leaving excess around the edges so the red will show beyond the letter piece.
- Print and trace letter pennant on to tissue paper. You can cut through multiple sheets of tissue at the same time to make multiple tissue cut outs. You can also use cardstock for this step if you’d like.
- Make sure to put something under the tissue paper so the glue doesn’t leak through to your work surface. I just used a sandwich bag.
- Apply a line of glue at the top of the tissue paper. Place twine on the glue line. Then place the letter pennant on top of the twine and glue. Press to adhere all the layers together. Continue adding layers for each letter until you’ve created your entire banner.
