OK so now lets talk about the banner shall we.
For my sons birthday I did the same thing but obviously different colors. I didnt want to spend a lot of money and I wanted the colors to be spot on SO I used.... drum roll.... Paint swatches. They are free and it made for a dang cute banner!
Here is how I did it:
1. Picked out the paint swatch colors at my local Walmart
2. figure out how you are going to have cut. You can leave them so they are rectangle...3. or cut them out into triangles (take of the writing of coarse!) super easy
4. I used a whole punch to have my twine go through and connect all the squares. You can also justy tape them on the back if you want.
5. Use your twine to connect all of them together. I went over one and then under the next. (as you can see on the last picture!
And voila super easy and SUPER cute and FREE!!! It reallY was so fun to make!
BTW we added a couple pinwheels to some of them for an added touch. (I can do a tutorial on that later!)
OK so the invitation I did was so cute and I thought I would share one that you can customize yourself! Here is mine:
