Free Printable "Thankful" Banner
I love making banners for EV. ER. Y. TH. IN. G. I make them for birthdays, holidays, Wednesdays… ;) Seriously, everything.
The fall decor in my house is very neutral. I don’t have Halloween specific decorations or any Thanksgiving specific decorations. I tend to stick with neutral pumpkins, leaves, mums, etc. that will fit with both Halloween and Thanksgiving. It’s nice because I can leave it up from September through November. When Halloween is over, though, I sometimes feel like I want to add a little something more specific to Thanksgiving... So I made this banner to spruce things up a bit!
You can find the free printables of each letter on my blog in this post.
Once you have them all printed - you'll need to cut them out.
I raided my kids’ construction paper stash and took out all the brown paper. Some was used, so I flipped it over and the back was perfectly usable. Any color will work, I just thought brown was neutral and very “fall”. I taped the cut out letters to the construction paper and cut so there was just a small border around each letter.
Once each letter had a border, I laid them out on my floor upside down and in reverse order (so when you flip it over it reads “Thankful” correctly). I taped twine to the back of each letter with masking tape. If you do not want the string to show so much, I’ve also used my husbands fishing line before for past banners and it works really well!
After you’re done taping, you’re ready to hang it in your house! I chose to hang it on the mantel above our fireplace.
Done!
