Happy New Year Banner

It seems like that week between Christmas and New Year’s flies by and suddenly I’m not ready for the party to ring in the new year. The result is scrambling at the last minute for an easy little decoration that I can make in minutes. This idea is so easy! A simple little project that the kids will love helping you make. Trust me, it’s a great choice for adding to your new year’s party!

If you are hosting a party, you’ll love these great new year’s party ideas and this great list of champagne cocktails. Tons of great additions to your party. I like whipping up some of these chicken wing recipes too! Great for feeding a crowd and super easy to make.

What Paper Should I Print This On?

I used a regular piece of cardstock for this. White is best since this is a patterned print on the words. You will need a color print, or to use your own lettering that has been painted or colored to look sparkly for the holiday. Below are some other ideas you can use for printing these words.

  • Copy paper
  • Craft paper
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Birchwood
  • Thin cardboard
  • White fabric

What Should I Use as a Base for My Banner?

The words are just part of the process for this banner. You also need to put them on something to hang. While I used a super simple ribbon I had on hand, you can use other items to create your banner. Below are some of the things I use to hang garlands and banners.

  • Twine or jute
  • Rope
  • Yarn
  • Grosgrain ribbon
  • Paper ribbon
  • Tulle
  • String
  • Embroidery thread

The goal is to slip the ribbon through the holes you punch on the words. So, the only real consideration is to make sure the ribbon or twine you use slips through the hole easily and won’t tear it open.

What Should I Hang The Banner On?

Banners and garlands are usually hung on the mantle or edge of a porch or railing. This garland is so simple to make you can hang it really anywhere. You can add all of the letters on one piece of string, or separate them out and hang one word per length of ribbon.

My favorite places to hang banners are on the edge of the mantle, on the top of our entertainment center, or in the archway between our kitchen and dining room. Banners look great on bookcases, cabinets, hutches, doorways, and even just on an empty space on a wall in your living room.
