It’s the 2nd Wednesday of the month and that means the…
has been fast at work to create thrifty ideas and decor for your home and life.
This is an easy way to add some color in your home with minimal cost and very little effort. Making a Thrifty Napkin Banner will bring a whole new look to your parties, family time and holidays.
Let’s get started and make your own Thrifty Napkin Banner.
What you will need to make a Napkin Banner:
Pretty print cocktail size napkins (I found mine at Tuesday Morning)
Jute
Scissors
Hot Glue
Hot Glue Gun
I gathered my components.
I was able to get four banner pieces from each napkin. I cut the banner pieces 4 inches wide, and then cut a triangle at the bottom. I wasn’t too worried about them being “PERFECT”. Although, I was careful not to leave jagged edges.
Now it was time to adhere the napkin to the jute.
I spaced my banner pieces about 3-4 inches apart. But again, I didn’t make it perfect. I like a little bit of variety. BUT, I did eyeball it, so it looked evenly spaced.
You can see how fun the Napkin Banner looks with my tulle banner and the pom pom string I made at Halloween. I will have a tutorial for the tulle banner next week. So stay tuned.
I think a Thrifty Napkin Banner would look so pretty as a Spring/Easter decoration. What about Fourth of July, Memorial day, Veteran’s Day, Flag day with flag print, or red, white and blue napkins? Even as an accent on a Christmas tree or on a patio for Summer decor. Use your imagination and run with it.
Do you think you will make a Thrifty Napkin Banner?

Your banner is adorable and YES, I’ll be making one for myself. I run across cute napkins all the time and sort of feel bad for using them to just wipe my mouth on them :)

Your banner is so cute and I will never look at cocktail napkins in the same way again. Can’t wait to dig around in my napkin drawer to see what I already have!
