DIY Spring Banner

I've been wanting to make a spring banner for a while but just wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to make it. Yesterday I got some scrapbook paper on sale at Joann's that would be perfect for a spring banner! When I got home I started thinking about what shapes I wanted to cut out and decided on flowers & birds.

 

What you need 

- scrapbook paper

-scissors

-patterns (I will provide links)

- Glue

-Pen

-Hole punch & String

 

 

 

First you want to print & cut out your flower pattern you can find the one I used here Just click on Scrapbook flower template and copy image and paste into word. I made the picture bigger until all i had was one complete flower.

 

Trace your flower onto the back of your scrapbook paper so that once its cut out you wont have any pen marks showing. Once its traced, cut it out.

 

Print & cut out your bird & wing, you can find the one i used here 

I made this as big as i could in word without cutting off any of the bird

 

Trace & cut out your pattern, I used a different paper for the wing to give some contrast, but you don't have to do that.

 

I know it's hard to see, but this is just showing you that you need to put glue on the back of your wing & then place it however you'd like on your bird.

 Make as many flowers & birds as you like & then hold punch them all & feed string through & hang wherever you'd like! 

 I hope you have fun making your own, if you decide you'd like to =). This would be a great project to get your kids involved it's so simple!
