Hi, friends! Do you love patterned papers? Teri<\/a> here with an adorable way to use patterned paper to make fun circle banner shapes to use on your handmade cards.<\/p>\n

These little banners are easy to make and look great on any occasion cards. Make some for your next card creation. It will bring a smile \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Creating a Circle Banner<\/h2>\n

Start by cutting several circles from patterned paper. You can speed up the cutting process by using a circle punch or a circle die with a die-cutting machine to cut them. It’s up to you how large you want the circles to be. <\/p>\n

\n

Fold the circles in half and place adhesive on the inside. I find Premium Double-Sided Tape<\/a> works great for this. But if you are using a heavyweight paper, you may want to try using a stronger adhesive like Extreme Double-Sided Tape<\/a> to secure your circles!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Place the circles over a piece of twine. Seal them up. Embellish them further by applying 3D Foam Shapes<\/a>, such as 3D Foam Stars<\/a> and 3D Foam Pennants<\/a>, to your banners. Don’t be afraid to use your scissors to cut up the shapes to make them fit. <\/p>\n

\n

Complete your banners by adding flock or glitter to the foam shapes. You’ll also want to adhere a few random sequins to the banners.<\/p>\n

Add Circle Banners to Cards<\/h2>\n

These banners look great when you use them on cards! <\/p>\n

\n

I made two banners for this card and choose to hang them at an angle rather than straight across the card.<\/p>\n

Rather than using the same flock or glitter to decorate the foam shapes, consider using a couple different colors. Here I used white and pink flocks on my circle banners!<\/p>\n

\n

Remember, there are no rules when it comes to making banners. Banners can have a whole bunch of flags or just a few.<\/p>\n

Two flags on a single banner doesn’t sound fun, but hanging three banners with two flags together on a card makes a nice, bold design statement!<\/p>\n

I hope you are inspired to make some cards with your own circle banners!<\/p>\n

Happy creating!
