DIY Birthday Banner

Since I was a DIY bride, I figured I can be a DIY mama. I found online some cute birthday banners and figured, I can do that and for much cheaper! People wanted $30+ and I ended up spending $11! I went to Michael's with a coupon in hand but everything I needed was already on sale. Card stock and scrapbook paper were on sale for .25, cardboard letters for $3.99 and ribbon for $2. Score!! Came home and traced my letters on card stock, then cut them out (had some help cutting from my friend Steph). Borrowed someones paper cutter and cut out 2 different sizes (1 slightly larger than the other) of scrapbook paper and card stock. Glued my letters onto the smaller paper and that to the larger paper. Used a hole punch and threaded my ribbon threw.
An easy & inexpensive project. Its not perfect but I love it, and I love knowing I made it!
