It's easy to whip up a banner with just one patterned paper and a few coordinating solids!
I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the base for these banner flags from a pretty plaid paper - and chose a little less traditional shape with the rounded bottom. I cut large circles from solid orange, and letters from black. I added the gray strip along the top for a bit of extra interest - plus it makes each flag a little bit more sturdy for hanging.
I cut the bat shape from black paper and attached it with a foam adhesive square. (There's also a foam adhesive square behind the orange circle).
I used bats on every other banner. The others have a cute little ghost! Here's a quick tip for assembling Mr. Ghostie. When I cut him out, his eyes were "hollow." I didn't really like that (but it's fine if you do...you can just skip this part). So I cut a small circle of black paper.
I flipped over the ghost and added adhesive around his face.
Then I placed the black circle right over his eyes (be sure the black is showing on the front). I also added foam adhesive to his body.
See how cute he looks?
And I popped him right on his letter:
This is a really easy way to add a bit of festive fun to your Halloween celebration!
Happy Halloween!
