Boo-tiful Bunting Banner
Supplies Needed:
- Two packages of Halloween napkins, each in a different pattern or color
- Halloween themed ribbon
- Craft glue
- Scissors
When is the last time you made a craft that only used four materials? Remember, you can head over to Dollar Tree and find all of the items listed here for just $1.
Directions:
- First, cut your Halloween ribbon down the center to create a thinner strip of ribbon. For this project you will want at least three feet of ribbon. Dollar Tree sells 9 ft. rolls so they are perfect for making several of these banners if you wish.
- Now, decide how you want to line your napkins up on the ribbon. Your napkins will act as the pennant on the banner, so arrange them in a way that appeals to you. As you can see in the sample picture, we alternated in an AB pattern. However you can do whatever looks best for you.
- Take your craft glue and place it generously on the ribbon, close to the top. Press your first napkin to the glue and hold it firmly into place so it adheres well. Repeat the process with the next napkin and so on until the ribbon is filled.
- Once all of your napkins are on the ribbon, you want to give it plenty of drying time before hanging. Allow it a good hour if not two to dry well.
Now, your boo-tiful banner is ready to hang! You can use tape or even push pins to hang it from a mantel, entryway, or even a staircase. It will add the perfect pop of color and Halloween flare. So head over to your local Dollar Tree and gather the supplies you need to create this Boo-tiful Bunting Banner. It will only cost you a few dollars, and the end result is a banner you will be able to use year after year
