What’s the best paper for making a DIY banner?
We made our DIY banner on coloured copy paper. If you’d like to re-use your banner and not have it bend easily, you can also use coloured cardstock. If you want to add a pattern or pizzazz to your banner, try using glitter scrapbook paper, or a patterned paper themed to the right season (Easter, fall, Christmas, etc) or interest (sports, music, etc).
What’s the best glue for attaching letter templates to a DIY banner?
We definitely recommend using glue tape to attach the letters to your banner. Glue tape is a roll-on adhesive that’s great for paper crafts. Glue tape is easy to use and sticks the letters on really well, keeping them flat to the paper, with no wrinkling. Double sided tape would also work well. We also tried gluing the letters onto our banner with a glue stick, and maybe it was just our particular glue stick, but it didn’t stick as well as the glue tape. The glue stick also left wrinkles/bumps in the paper and made it curl up a bit.
Have fun making a DIY banner for every occasion. These homemade paper banners are really easy to make, and they’re sure to add a pop of colour to your party or special event!
