DIY Party Project: Birthday Bunting for Our Little Man

Posted on September 6, 2014

Hello, Saturday! I have been thinking about starting a theme or series of posts to do on certain days of the week. Since I don’t post too often on the weekend, when I do a Saturday post, it might be called Simple Saturday… a quick & easy DIY project you can do over the weekend. The less expensive & fewer the supplies, the better!

So today, I have an easy DIY project to share on this lovely September Saturday. Below is a bunting I made for Henry’s 2nd birthday party which was ABC & 123 themed! This type of personalized bunting would be so easy to create for any occasion {birthday party, tailgate party or for some cute fall décor} and it only costs a few dollars to make. BINGO!

Supplies:

Scrapbook paper | Michaels

scissors

hole punch

twine | Amazon {I have used the same roll for TONS of projects!}

craft paint | Michaels

alphabet stencils or print your own {I didn’t like the font of the stencils I had, so I printed letters on a word doc (outline only) and then cut them out}

small craft paint brush

command hooks

I don’t have any photos to show you my mad painting skills or how I fed the twine through the holes or of me looping the ends and attaching to the wall with command hooks, but I think you get the gist 🙂 The only part that took a little time was waiting for the paint to dry! I also made a bunting last year for his 1st birthday, except I used a variety of different papers, cut the paper into triangles & used white paint on each one. It makes for a pretty cute backdrop for the pictures, if you ask me!

Sidenote – Notice the wood trim last year? I am still in love with our bright new white 🙂

Next week I am going to be finishing up a few more things in the playroom and will have several DIY projects to share – get excited {I am}! You’ll get a peek at some of my playroom inspiration as well! I love how this room is coming together.
