DIY Book-Page Banner

Grab a picture book from a dollar store, some twine, scissors, marker, paper and a whole punch and you can create a fun banner perfect for many occasions. A banner like this is perfect for a birthday party or as a decoration of your child’s favorite book displayed sweetly in their bedroom. This is a cheap and quick DIY project! Begin by using scissors and a piece of paper to cut out one triangular or rectangular-shaped banner pennant, then use a marker to trace the outline of the pennant onto the book page that you want to cut out. Use scissors to carefully cut the banner along the traced outline, then punch a hole at the top two corners of each pennant. Finally, thread a strand of twine through the pennant holes. Be sure to leave excess string on each side of your banner for hanging. Here are 12 gift ideas for kids who like DIY.
