DIY Fan Banner

By Jenny Smith, Contributor Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so I have a quick and easy DIY banner tutorial for you that you can whip up today with your babiekins.  This garland is the perfect decoration for hanging along tables, windows, walls or anywhere else your heart desires.  It adds just the right amount of  whimsy to any space.

Coloured 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper.  (You will need two of each colour or pattern to make one fan)

Gluestick

1″ thick ribbon

Scoreboard (optional)

Step 1: You can either use a scoreboard like I did and score at 1″ increments, or fold your paper accordion style making your fold 1″ wide.

Step 2: Fold all sheets of paper accordion style.  Take your paper with all the folds compressed, fold in half and glue together. Each page is half of your fan.

Step 3: Take the two corresponding fans and glue them together on one side.

Copyright © 2022 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
