DIY - birthday poster & bunting

and to complete the birthday party...birthday poster & birthday bunting!

for the birthday poster, i created an 11x14 collage in picasa.  walgreens.com had a special last month for the 11x14 photo poster.  i only paid $1.99 instead of $9.99.  i taped this to the door of the play place during the party. 

for the birthday bunting, i also created a 4x6 collage in picasa.  and ordered the photo prints at target.

i used the following materials:  glue, scissors, ruler, ribbons, cutter, puncher & cereal boxes.

first, glue the 4x6 photos in the cereal boxes.  {i let everything dry overnight.}

with the use of the ruler & cutter, score each photo.

then cut curves on the bottom corners.

for the upper left & right corners of the photo, cut holes with the use of a puncher.

insert the ribbon in the hole & tie a knot.

tying a knot helps to secure each photo.

for a girly touch, i added a bow & some curling ribbons.

it was so easy to do, i actually made a similar bunting for a friend's birthday yesterday.  {i'm preparing my christmas holiday bunting now}.

i will definitely use this again for her birthday next year.  {or maybe make another one?}
