Birthday Party Garlands

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on garlands for Olive's birthday party so I made several different ones.  They were all very doable and I was happy with how they turned out.

1. Notepad Garland

I purchased a notepad from Target's dollar bins that went with the colors for her party and wrote out what I wanted it to say.  I went with cursive letters written in sharpie.  Then I used washi tape and baker's twine (both from Target's dollar bins) to put the banner together.

2. Instagram banner

I printed instagram pictures, used baker's twine and miniature clothes pins to make this banner.  It was a great way for me to use my insta prints and it did not damage the photos.  I'm hoping to reuse them for Olive's 1st year scrapbook.

3. Polka-Dotty Banner

I purchased a striped notepad and twine from Target's dollar bins and bought a premade polka-dotty banner for about $4.  I used the supplies to make two different banners so I was pleased with the investment.  It came with rope to attach the banner but I opted to stick with my theme of twine.  I cut block letters out of the striped notepad.  Then attached them with scrapbook sticker squares. 

 I used the same technique for the high chair banner.

The moral of the story is that Target dollar bins 

are the perfect place to find affordable banner making supplies!!
