DIY Spring Banner

Today I though'd I share a simple tutorial for making an inexpensive/easy banner. With it now being Spring (in some parts of the good ol' USA) I thought I'd share the banner I made to add a little spring cheer to our fireplace!

What you need:

• 12x12 Scrapbook Paper (the amount you need will depend on the length of your banner and how much variation you want in pattern).
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Double sided tape (I like the dispenser type you can find in the scrapbooking section of a store)
• scissors  
• String or twine

Instructions: 

1. Lay a piece of scrapbook paper out.
   
2. Fold in half.
   
3. Measure to the center with a ruler and mark with pencil and then cut in half.
   
4. Cut this half in half again (you should end up with four squares from one piece of paper).
   
5. Fold each smaller square into triangles. If you end up with over lap just trim off. 
   
   
   
6. Put your choice of string or twine in the fold and use double sided tape to seal. 
7. When you've added the desired amount of triangles (based on where you want to hang) cute string and hang!
   

I also did this for Jases first birthday party to add some colorful decor! It's super easy, fast and in expensive way to add color and design to your home or even a party you're hosting! 

Below are pictures from Jases birthday party. With these, I wanted the triangles bigger so I just folded the 12x12 pieces into triangles!
