How to Make Fastest “Merry” Banner for Christmas

I hung this fun little Christmas banner in my kids playroom. It gives their kids-only zone a little Christmas cheer, although it’s already a pretty happy space. Regardless, it’s an excuse to craft!

Supplies

– Stiff craft felt sheets
– Twine or string
– Scissors
– Optional: letter templates

Make DIY 10-Minute Bright and Colorful “Merry” Banner

Trace large letter templates (mine were about 4″ in height) onto stiff felt sheets. Cut out.

At the top of each letter, make a small hole to insert the twine or thin craft ribbon.

I opted to use an embroidery thread on a sewing needle to string the letters together.

This banner looks cute with strips of washi tape holding up each end!
