One of the projects that I did for my sister's baby shower was to make a banner. I got the idea from Dragonfly Designs. I used my handy dandy Cricut and it made the project SO much easier, but you could do it without.
I started by cutting out triangles out of solid pink paper. Then I cut a slightly smaller triangle to glued them together.
I used scrapbooking glue stick for this part. I found that regular glue made the paper wrinkly.
I like Elmers Extra Strength Glue Stick...the kind that goes on blue and dries clear. Next, I cut out the letters to spell out 'Welcome Baby Grace' from chocolate brown cardstock. My sister's naming her baby Grace if you hadn't already figured that out. Then I glued the letters onto the triangles.
After the letters were attached, I used double sided scrapbooking tape to attach the banner to pink ribbon. I used the double sided tape just for convenience sake...it stuck to the ribbon nicely but it was easy to take the triangles off to realign and adjust.
And here's a couple of pictures of the final product. It held up beautifully and looked super cute!!
And a close up from where I hung it in our office so I could see what it looked like.
Very cute! Never thought of using ribbon to string the letters on. Thanks for the instructions, maybe I will attempt to make my own for my next party.
