Add color and style to any space with an easy paper bunting banner. Using simple supplies, it can be made in minutes for a party or seasonal decor.

Sometimes we want to pep up our home with some fresh, new decor, but we just don’t want to spend money on more things!

I’m a huge fan of decorating using items you already have.

So, do you have some paper lying around your house? If so, this paper craft project is a DIY home decor idea that you can do!

I originally wrote this post when we lived in our previous house and had just done a little entryway makeover.

In the process, I wanted to add some yellow decor. I reached for my scrapbooking supplies and this is what I came up with.

How to make an Easy Paper Bunting Banner

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience.

Supplies you’ll need for this craft:

61 inches of lightweight string or baker’s twine
3 pieces of 12x 12 inch patterned paper that have coordinating patterns.
Paper Cutter (or scissors and a ruler)
Double sided tape.
White cardstock
Round paper punch
Letter stamps (or print letters on the computer printer)
Decorative ribbon for the ends

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of lightweight string 61 inches. Fold it in half and knot the two cut ends.

2. Using 3 pieces of coordinating 12 x 12 pieces of scrapbooking paper, cut each piece to measure 8 x 12.

3. Fold each piece, then, so that it will measure 4 x 12.

Cutting at the folded area, cut again at 4 inches. Now you should have pieces that are 4 x 4 when folded.

4. Mark at the unfolded part 2 inches over, and cut to form a triangle.

5. Once all your triangles are cut, arrange them with the string on the inside of the folded triangles. {You will have a few extra triangles.}

6. Tape with double-sided tape.

7. Using your computer printer {or alphabet stamp set, if you have one}, print out the letters you’d like to use onto white cardstock. I then punched mine out with a 2 inch scallop circle punch and taped them to the front.

8. I attached the string to the wall with thumbtacks, and covered them with some knotted ribbon.

That’s it!
