March means spring, and I wanted to create a fun and bright spring banner to match the season.

How to Make a Spring Banner
I have challenged myself to try a new technique each month with my banner. So, for this month, I created my banner using two different size banner shapes in each banner section. I love the way this one turned out!
Supplies:
- We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board
- Patterned papers from Pebbles Paper Pad: Best of
- Paper trimmer
- White Cardstock
- 2″ Scallop Punch
- Gold Thickers
- Yellow Twine
- Adhesive
- Adhesive squares
Create Banner Shapes
I chose some papers that felt like spring to create this spring banner. They were simple patterned papers with either polka dots or a chevron pattern.
I chose shades of pink, teal, green, and yellow to match a beautiful floral paper I found on the paper pad. Using my paper trimmer, I cut the six patterned papers to 4″ wide.
Using the banner punch board, I created a flag shape at the bottom of each banner piece by lining up my paper at the four vertical white lines.
Close the cutting arm, and use the cutting blade to trim down first from the left and right along the top guide.

I then trimmed each banner piece to 6″ long using my paper trimmer.
To create the smaller banner shapes, I followed the same steps for the floral paper as above, except I first cut the paper 3″ wide. Once I had cut the flag shape in the bottom of the banner piece, I trimmed each one to be 5″ long.
Assemble Banner Pieces
I attached the smaller floral banners to the patterned papers using adhesive.
I used my 2″ scallop punch to cut circles out of white cardstock. Then, I added a gold Thicker letter to each to spell the word SPRING.
Then, I used an adhesive foam square to attach the white cardstock circle to the bottom edge of the floral banner piece.
Thread Banner Pieces Together
I used the banner punch board to punch holes in the top of each banner piece and threaded yellow twine through the tops of all the banner pieces.
The floral paper in this banner is so pretty. It is one of my favorites in the entire paper pad.
