Congrats Banner Card

Graduation Ideas· Paper Decorations· Party Decorations

We’re more than halfway through April and soon we’ll be sliding into May. You know what that means, right? It’s the season for weddings and graduations! Here’s a quick and easy little congratulations banner gift to congratulate them on the beginning of a new chapter in their life.

"Congrats" Banner Card: Perfect for graduations and weddings!

Supplies you’ll need to make a Congrats Banner Card:

  • Chipboard Alphabet Letters
  • Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter – Smokey Quartz
  • Zig Squeeze & Roll Jumbo Tip Glue
  • Vellum
  • Matte Finish Spray
  • Double Sided Hercules Tape
  • Baker’s Twine – Black/White
  • Embossing Tool
  • “Congratulations!” Free Printable

1. Spread a layer of glue over the front of a chipboard letter and apply a generous amount of glitter. Tap off excess glitter and place letter off to the side to dry. Return excess glitter to container. Repeat with all letters and allow to dry completely. Add a protective coat of matte spray to prevent the glitter from getting everywhere!

Congrats Banner Card: Glitter2. Make a pennant flag template and cut out 8 flags. If you’re using the exact same letters I did, you can make your flags 3×5. If not, just make sure you leave enough room at the top to fold over.

3. Score the top fold .5″ down from the edge.

Congrats Banner Card: Score4. Apply a generous amount of Zig glue to the back of each letter and press securely in the middle of each flag.

Congrats Banner Card: Glue onto flag5. Apply a strip of Hercules tape right at the fold. Layer baker’s twine in between and press closed. Make sure to catch the twine in the tape so that the flags don’t shuffle around in transit.

Congrats Banner Card: Tape6. Print out the “Congratulations” free printable tag and add to the end of the banner.

Make a "Congrats" Banner Card with Crafts Unleashed!Your “Congrats” card is done! All you need to do is throw it in a large envelope and mail it away to one lucky recipient! You could even add a gift card to the back of the “Congratulations!” tag if you so desire. Hope the happy couple or recent graduate enjoys it!
