Girly Birthday Banner

Over the weekend my family and I did a surprise Birthday Party for my Mom. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise for her and such a fun party!! 

For the party I made a couple different things of decor which I will be showing you throughout the week.
Today I am going to show you how I made a cute Birthday Banner. 



Here it is:

This was really fun and easy to make! 


What You Will Need:

-Scrapbook Paper {I used 6 different papers. I had 3 of each kind for the circles. I used 5 different patterns for the circles.}
-Cricut or other cutting machine
-Glue Stick
-Foam Tape
-Packaging Tape or Masking Tape
-Scissors
-Jute
-Different Ribbons




How I Made It:
First I got all my cutting done on my Circut. For the circles, I did the big circles at 5 3/4" and the smaller ones at 5". I did 13 of each size. I also cut out the letters "Happy Birthday" using the Simply Sweet Cartridge. I did those at 4".


Next, I took the glue stick and glued the circles together. 


Once those were all glued, I put the letters on the circles. I used my foam tape to give the letters some definition. 


Here are the circles all finished:


Next, I spaced the circles out evenly to measure how long the jute needed to be. 
I did each word on a different jute piece. I then used my packaging tape to 
tape the circles to the jute string. I tied the'Birthday' word to the 'Happy' piece of Jute. 
I also tied loops in the end of the happy jute string for easy hanging. 


Lastly, I took some matching ribbon and tied a few pieces to each end of the Birthday String. 




And that's it!! It went together so fast and I LOVE how it turned out!
Definitely fun and cheery for a Birthday Greeting!





Here it is hung at the Surprise Party:



The best part about this banner is it didn't cost me a thing!!!
I had everything on hand to make it with!

I am also excited to have it on hand now for other birthday parties down the road.
