Party decorations can be surprisingly expensive. A simple cardboard banner from the store can cost $10-$20, and it might not even match your color scheme. But why buy one when you can make a custom, professional-looking banner at home for free?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best paper to use?
We recommend using cardstock (65lb or heavier). It hangs better and doesn't curl up like regular printer paper.
How do I hang the banner?
Punch holes in the top corners of each flag and thread a ribbon, twine, or string through them. You can also tape them directly to a wall or window.
