DIY Halloween Banner

I almost titled this post “Easy Halloween Banner” but quickly realized how many times I’ve used “Easy” in my previous titles, ha! But the truth is, easy is my jam! I like a lot of bang for my buck, or time ;)

My oldest actually came up with this idea and executed it with her siblings while I was making dinner one night. I was so impressed and like “Are you sure you didn’t see this in a magazine or something?!” But also, my creative heart skipped a beat to see a trait of mine working within her...she’s a creator, just like me! With her help, we created this tutorial for you!

Materials needed:

-construction paper or card stock in colors of your choice

-scissors

-glue or tape

-string or yarn

Step 1:

Accordion fold two pieces of paper. Anyone else remember making paper fans as a kid? Do that. After you’ve folded them, gently bend the papers in half.

Step 2:

Tape (or glue for a cleaner look) the folded piece of paper together to make a half circle. Repeat with the second paper. Now tape those two pieces together to complete a full circle.

Step 3:

Cut out a stem. Make sure it’s long enough to fold in half, as this loop is what you will run your string through to create the banner.
