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.

  

Supplies:

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.

Step 4: Take your ribbon and glue the fans onto the underside.

Voila, you’re done!
