DIY Party Decor you can make in minutes

I’m a big fan of quick crafts. We like to celebrate all kinds of events, especially birthdays even when we are on the go. So creating party decor that is easy to set up is important. Party garland and banners are really nice because they can easily be folded up into a little bag and packed away to travel where ever you go.

Make Your Own Mini Party Garland in Minutes

This mini party banner garland just takes a few steps to make. If you use my adhesive backed paper, you don’t even need glue or tape!

You can use scissors to cut out your own shapes. You can also use basic cardstock or even wrapping paper instead of the paper I used. I’m using this pretty patterned paper because 1. it’s new 2. I designed it and am excited to share and 3. it’s easy to just cut, stick together and voila, the project is finished!

Instructions

  1. Cut out the shapes you want to use. Make sure to cut two shapes for each single garland piece, front and back.
  2. Layer two cutout pieces together, making sure to place the twine in the middle. Adhere together.
  3. Leave about 2″ of space between each piece and repeat until you have the length of banner you’d like.

You can add garland pieces with letters or words, you can alternate a decorative piece with a letter, add tassels or whatever you’d like. Pick your own favorite colors, something to match you party theme or even use scraps you have in your craftroom.

Display Trick: If you’d like to hang your garland and banners without using tape, this might do the trick. I like to use little magnet hooks. Our home has metal edging at the corner of the walls, so this works perfectly in door frames. You might find that the magnets stick to window frames too.

I’ve also found that when traveling on a cruise ship, there is plenty of metal in the walls of the cabin to hang different decorations. Make sure to use magnet hooks that have a strong magnet so they can hold the weight of your decor.
