Cinco de Mayo DIY Banner

With May 5th just around the corner,
this Cinco de Mayo banner will have your house feeling festive in no time.

What you need
colorful felt {green, white, red}
sewing machine
{an alternative adhesive like a glue gun or
velcro would easily work too}
string, twine or rope
scissors

What you do
1. Start by folding over the top edge of each piece of felt about 1 1/2 inches.

2. Sew a simple seam at the top of each piece of felt. No sewing machine?
No problem. A glue gun, adhesive tape, velcro, etc. could all easily be used as a substitute.

3. Cut the bottom portion of each piece of felt into vertical strips about 1/2 inch wide.
4. Next, slide each piece of felt on to a long string, rope or twine.


5. Find the perfect place to hang your Cinco de Mayo banner. We opted for our living room mantle, however how cute would this look hanging on the fence at a backyard fiesta?
