Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas! The Christmas Season is upon us and we’ve been busy decorating to get into the Christmas spirit. Today’s project is a quirky, fun decoration – a Christmas banner that hangs vertically, which is great for decorating on narrow walls or between windows. We also love that this banner is easy to customize, just pick your favorite holiday colours. If you can’t find wood letters the size you need, stenciling is a great option. Let’s get started…

Glue the red squares to a length of the ribbon (leave the ribbon attached to the spool during this step). Use a measuring tape or ruler to make sure the squares are evenly spread, we spaced them 2” apart.

Finally, cut the ribbon from the spool at a length of 12” from the top square. Fold the ribbon back on itself and then glue the cut end to the back of the top square to create a loop to hang the banner with.
