I love decorating for holidays, but sometimes, I prefer to have decorations that are more generic and can hang up a bit longer. This banner is dedicated to spring and will last for several months. The letters can easily be switched out for a birthday or the 4^th of July – whatever you want to say.

supplies

• May Arts Ribbon

– 1.5 yds – 3/8″ purple grosgrain stripes (RG67)
– 3 yds – 1-1/4″ yellow silk (SK27)

• White card stock

• Hole punch

• Scalloped scissors

• Glue

• Double stick letters

• Glitter­

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 – Cut and scallop the edges of 11 card stock circles, 3″ in diameter. Punch 2 holes in each circle as shown in photo below.

Step 2 –S out “happy spring” by placing one double stick letter in the center of each circle. Cover letter with glitter and brush off excess.

Step 3 – Add small glue dots around outer edge of circle and cover with alternating colors of glitter.

Step 4 – To string circles together, cut 3″ lengths of purple ribbon and thread through neighboring holes. Tie ribbon in a double knot and trim ends on an angle.

Step 5 – Cut yellow ribbon into 4 equal lengths. Loop and lay it over the purple ribbon on each end letter. Tie purple ribbon in a double knot to secure yellow ribbon in place.

Step 6 – Your spring banner is now ready to hang and enjoy throughout the coming months.
