DiY tutorial: happy birthday cake banner

7.18.2011
Hi everyone! It’s Stephanie from stephlovesben again! Today I am going to share with you how to make a Happy Birthday cake banner. It is so easy to make and so cute!

You will need: felt, scissors, wooden skewers, needle and string:


Step 1: Choose a font that you like and print out the phrase “HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” It’s best to use a bold font that will be thick enough to cut out. Also, make sure that you adjust the font size to you are going to want your letters to be:


Step 2: Cut out each letter from the paper and then use as a guide to cut out the letters from the felt:




Step 3: Once you have all the letters cut out, use a needle and string of your choice to thread the letters onto the string. Just sew one stitch through each letter:


Step 4: Attach the ends of the string to the wooden skewers:


And you're done!
