Crafting Project: "Back to School" Banner and Garland

1. "Back to School" Banner

  • Print: Download the printable banner from Etsy and print it on sturdy cardstock for durability.

  • Cut: Carefully cut out each banner and punch holes in the top corners.

  • Hang: String the bunting together, then hang them in your desired location – whether it's a classroom, playroom, or living room, the choice is yours!


2. "Back to School" Garland

  • Print: Select your favorite back to school designs, also available as a downloadable printable, and print it out.

  • Cut: Use scissors or a craft knife to cut out the designs.

  • Hang: Attach the garland pieces to a string by taping the back, and display them above a window or along a wall for a charming touch.
