Need some really cute Fourth of July decor to add to the festivities? Make this simple Fourth of July Banner.
4th OF JULY BANNER
Recently I shared with you these Patriotic Hot Dog Trays, which could also be used for Nachos at your family Fourth of July BBQ. In the background of the photo I have this Fourth of July Banner that I used as part of my Fourth of July Décor. I had several of you ask about how I made it. If you are interested in the Fourth of July Soda Bottle labels, you can find them here: Fourth of July Soda Bottle Labels
HOW TO MAKE A BANNER
I originally saw a banner in the Pottery Barn catalog and I pretty much knocked it off ;)! I thought it would be fun to make one for your Holiday BBQ! Sharing how I made mine below.
SUPPLIES:
- paper
- burlap
- red and blue paint
- foam roller
DIRECTIONS:
- It was pretty easy really. I simply took some burlap and cut it into some triangle. I made a pattern out of paper to use as a template. Then traced it out on the burlap. It worked out that I could flip the triangle upside down every other triangle and I didn’t have any waste.
- Then I cut out 14 total triangles. I wanted to make two different banners so I could criss-cross them over the table.
3. Then I took the same triangle template and made one with stripes on it and then cut out every other stripe so I could have a template to use for painting.
4. Then I simply put the template over a triangle and rolled red paint over it with my foam roller. I made 6 of them.
5. Then I did the same thing and made a template for the stars and then painted them blue. I made 8 of them.
6. Then I simply attached them to some twine with some little paper clips. You can find them at most craft stores. Then I hung them up by attaching the banners to the sides of the table which are attached to some poles.

Is it burlap? Looks more like canvas, or maybe I’m not able to see the texture really well?
It is a burlap but it has a lot of weave. I bought it on a bolt at a local fabric store.
I love your banner – it’s so cute! Thank you for the simple tutorial. :)
