Mini Glitter Banner for Christmas {free printable}

I shared this post  at Design Dazzle's 100 Ideas of Christmas Wonderful and want to share it with my readers. . . 

I combined my favorite things for a holiday project . . glitter, christmas, printables and the help of my boys! The result, a mini glitter name banner for their Christmas tree!

All you need is:

Printout of banner

Scissors

Glue

Glitter

Twine or Ribbon

Mini Clothespins

To begin, let your kids pick which color they want and find the letters to spell their name.

(The possibilities are endless here, you can use any Christmas words or save these for later use as cake toppers, party decor or any holiday banner. . . your welcome:))

RED

NEON GREEN

YELLOW

TEAL

PURPLE

SEA GREEN

PINK

Click the buttons above to download the color(s) of your choice. 

After you have downloaded and printed out your mini banner, simply cut out each banner,

carefully put glue on the letter - you could also use glitter paint,

sprinkle the glitter on the glue (my boys favorite part, we might have used a whole jar on one letter when my 2 year old wanted to help;)) and shake off the excess,

fold each banner in half,

glue over twine or ribbon,

and you have a mini banner ready to hang!

We even glittered our clothespins to hang them (yep, obsessed with glitter right now).

You can get all the background dot paper I used at Sprik Space courtesy of Amy!

I hope you have fun with your kids making these mini banners for your tree, home or holiday parties! Feel free to stop by SugarTot Designs for more free printables or my Shop for your holiday cards!

Merry Christmas!

 

Noel Christmas Banner - {Free Printable}

I posted this Noel Christmas banner {I Heart Naptime} for Crazy Christmas Crafters and now want to share it with my readers in case you missed it!

Enjoy!

 Hello again I Heart Naptimers! Soooo happy to be making things for the Christmas season! I LOVE this time of year and wish it could last just a little longer. This month's printable is a little different than one that you just print and frame so I hope you enjoy this printable NOEL Christmas banner (don't let the number of steps scare you, it really is easy to make).

To make your own banner:

Download all the papers HERE, print (I recommend e-mailing papers to OfficeMax, Staples, etc. to save on ink and printing on card stock) and cut them out.

The main banner piece was used from Altered Artifacts fabulous free vintage Christmas music papers.

For the pinwheel:

Fold the strips like an accordion

Staple (or glue or tape) the edges together to form a circle, with the color on the outside.

Push the middle of the paper down to make your pinwheel.

Glue one of your circle letters in the middle and put something on there while it dries so it doesn't pop back up (I used a stapler).

The glitter is optional but I love the extra sparkle it adds. If you want it, now is a good time to put it around the edges of your pinwheel.

After all your pinwheels are made, punch a hole in the upper corners of your main banner pieces.

Glue your pinwheels onto the banner.

I just found some scrap fabric I had and cut them into 1 inch by 12 inch strips to tie my banner together.

You can get creative here. . . ribbon, burlap string and weave it through as opposed to tying each piece together.

 You are done! You have yourself a nice and free NOEL Christmas banner.
