Holiday Banners FAQ
What materials work best for a first-time banner project?
Cardstock and bakers twine are the easiest starting materials. They cut cleanly, hold their shape, and cost very little if the project does not turn out how you pictured it.
How far in advance should I make a holiday banner?
Paper banners take under an hour, so a day or two ahead is plenty. Felt or fabric versions benefit from a full weekend, especially if you are sewing rather than gluing.
