For my little ones first birthday, I created a playful simple and easy DIY banner with Cricut. The banner pendant design can be reused and customized for future celebrations.
This banner pendant is a simple two layer design with a third layer as the letters. The key is to choose paper in a pattern and a coordinating color combo. I added a couple rolled flower roses to the sides as the banner has space to add special details such as snowflakes, birthday candles, stars, hearts, flowers, etc. The pendant is best strung together with a .5 inch wide or less flat wireless ribbon or string. To customize the DIY banner, I added the letters O N E and resized the letters to fit on the pendant.
