Decorating with your own custom party banners really adds to a parties atmosphere.  But buying store bought banners can get expensive and finding one to match your color scheme is sometimes impossible.

Keep in mind….just because a banner you see here is a certain color doesn’t mean it can only be made in that color. The skies the limit. You can also take an idea and transform it into your own birthday banner. ENJOY AND CREATE♥

HOW TO MAKE A FELT PENNANT DIY BANNER SUPPLIES-full printable tutorial in the below how to card

• felt squares to match your color scheme (3 banner per square)
  • a piece of cardboard (I used the back of a used up tablet) or card stock
  • crochet thread
  • needle with a large eye
• FELT BANNER DIRECTIONS
  • Determine how large you want each banner to be.  Mine was 5-inches across the top and from top to the tip measured 6 1/2-inches.
  • Cut your banner from the cardboard piece.  With a pen trace the banner onto a felt square.  I was able to get THREE on each square.
  • TIP:  I ONLY TRACED ON ONE SQUARE, LAID THREE UNDER THE TRACED PIECE AND CUT ALL FOUR AT ONCE.  THIS REALLY SAVED ON TIME.
  • Once all the banner pieces have been cut decide in which order the colors should go.
  • Use the crochet thread as a tape measure and cut off the length you would like your banner to be.  REMEMBER-you can make different lengths for over lapping or swaging banners.
  • Once the string is measured, make a big knot at one end making sure to leave some thread for either taping or tying.
  • I like the thread to go behind the banner so I start from the front right corner and come up through the left corner.
  • Continue until you are almost to the end.  Tie a knot at the end the same as the other end leaving some thread for either taping or tying.
  • NOTE:  IF USING CARD STOCK YOU MAY FIND IT EASIER TO PUNCH HOLES IN THE CORNERS BEFORE THREADING.  NO NEEDLE NEEDED IF THIS WAY IS CHOSEN.
  • Once you have your banner made you can add letters to spell out the them of the party or anything you like.

How to make a Water Bomb and Goggle Swag

FUN IDEA FOR A POOL THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY: Gather goggles and water bomb balls (I found mine at Dollar Tree) Use a rope or strong string for the base of the garland. FOR THE WATER BALLS: Using a long needle and string, push a hole in the front top through to the back, tie a knot to make a loop. FOR THE GOGGLES: Using the same needle and thread, poke a hole in the soft rubber on the top of the goggles, making a loop, tie a knot. String the balls and goggles onto the rope or heavy string. The perfect decoration for a photo booth at a pool party.
