{ flag banner }

I'm sure you've seen these cute banners all over the

internet! Maybe even in peoples homes. Well, I now
have them in mine! It's such an easy project for so many

occasions or even decor.

The idea to make the banner came to me a few days ago
while I was making a list of things to get for my son's

birthday party. Yep... My big boy turned
 6! :) So I went ahead and pulled out my

paper!

My obsession with old literature and the paper it's made

from has inspired me a LOT! I want to put it on everything!

So although book pages are my paper of choice, you can

use any paper you want for this project!

What you'll need:

1.   Paper (printer paper, card stock, construction paper,

 book pages; whatever kind you want)

2.   Ribbon, yarn, or string ( again, whatever you want)

3. Scissors(or paper cutter) and glue.

4.   Sewing machine and/or printer (optional)

OK... So I printed my letters onto my paper with a

computer and printer. I used half sheets of paper. I just cut

them down to size. I set my margins to match that of

my paper, used the center alignment, and put one
letter per page. You can use stamps or even

just write your letters on with a marker

.

I found the center of my paper using a ruler and 

 marked it at the bottom of my paper. This is just

so I knew my letter would be center in my triangle.

I then cut from that center point to the top left corner of

my paper and then from that point to the top  right
corner. You should have an even triangle and

your letter should be centered.

Next I glued them onto colored card stock.

Now cut them out again using your scissors or paper

cutter. The card stock should be bigger than
your letter paper so you can see the color! That's

it for your flags!

For the birthday banner I used blue ribbon to hang it.

I sewed the ribbon to the front of each triangle

using the sewing machine and

overlapped them a little bit so it wouldn't

be too big for my front door.

For the "Boo" banner, I attached ric-rac using the

sewing machine. I only tacked it down on each side

of the triangle. I left a one inch gap between the

letters because it's a smaller banner.

For the "love" banner, I left an extra inch at the

top of each flag and just folded it over
my textured yarn and secured them on with

clothes pins for a cute vintage look!

These are just three simple ways to hang your

flags. Don't forget to  leave enough ribbon/string
at the ends to hang it! Can't wait to hang my "Boo"
banner on my door this October!
