DIY Polka Dot Banner

Hey!
Sorry for the late post today- e-mails and work up to my eyeballs!

This quick and easy DIY project I did last week for a friends 25th Surprise Birthday. Maybe a tad young for the occasion- but it was festive and can be easily customized based on the paper you choose.

 
You can find pretty paper and shape punches at your local craft store (I found all of mine at Michael's). You will want to purchase a circle punch, and a small hole punch for this project because it will make your life a whole lot simpler!
 
1. Start out with all of your materials, coloured paper, twine or string, a small whole punch (1/8") and a large circle punch (2 1/2")
2. Punch out circles, using your circle punch.
3. Punch 2 holes about 1" apart and a 1/4" in from the edge of the circle for your twine
4. Thread your circles onto the twine, leaving about 7" at each end for tying and hanging
5. Hang your banners up in a zig-zag or 'x' pattern for maximum effect!
 
Michael's has so many different patterned paper, even sparkly ones. This would be a great craft to do with kids too!
 
Enjoy,
C
