It was a blue and pink themed party with LOTS of DIY party decorations (did you really expect me to pay lots of $$ for it all considering how cheap I am?)!
This DIY party banner hung on top of the DIY party backdrop. The banner was super simple to make and turned out really cute! Really, it can be a DIY banner for any kind of celebration – customize it to your own liking!

Happy Birthday Banner DIY Project
Materials Needed:
- Scrapbook Paper or Cardstock (I got about two “flags” out of a 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper. I got all my paper at Hobby Lobby.)
- DIY Birthday Banner Template (found here)
- Adhesive Mounts of some sort (I used these)
- X-Acto Knife or Hole Punch
- Ribbon (I used this kind)
- Sharpie
- Scissors
I know I took pictures of this process, but it appears, I have deleted those photos! I am so sorry, but I promise, this is so easy you really don’t need photos.
Steps
Step 1:
Print out the banner template noted in the supply list from Miss Lovie Creations. She did a great job of making her DIY birthday banner and I did mine similar to hers.

Step 2:
Cut out the template. I used regular scissors for this.
Step 4:
Cut out the traced pieces. I used scissors for this as well, but you could use the X-Acto knife.
Step 5:
Place the circle template over scrapbook paper or card stock. Trace as many circles as letters you need. Again, you’ll need 13 to spell out “Happy Birthday.” I chose to use just blue and pink solid card stock for this so that my letters didn’t disappear on patterned paper.
Step 6:
Cut out circles.
Step 7:
Write your letters on the circles. I used a pencil to sketch the letters out and then just went over them with a sharpie.
Step 8:
Use the adhesive mounts or some other adhesive to attach the circles to the flags. Hot glue would probably work fine as well.
Step 9:
Use the X-Acto knife to cut small slits in each upper corner of the flags. If you don’t want to use the X-Acto knife for this, you could also use the hole punch.
Step 10:
Weave your ribbon in and out of the flags to string them together, then hang with thumbtacks.
All done! Easy peasy!
Now aren’t you glad you learned how to make a birthday banner?
