These specific banners I used for a ‘Gamer’s Paradise’ party but this tutorial can be customized to make your banners say whatever you’d like!

The first thing you’ll do is fold your cloth in half if you haven’t already. My fabric was 44” wide so I just cut a straight 12” cut and kept it folded in half. This will make your banner 12”x22”.

Sew a seam about an inch from the top on the folded edge. This is where you will put your copper pipe.

You can sew the seam around the whole outside if you plant to wash your banner so it doesn’t fray. Or if you will just use it for decorative purposes like I did, you can just leave it like this!

If you are going to iron onto this cloth banner now is when you will do it! If you need extra help with iron on, here is a checklist I’ve created for exactly that.

Now you will put your copper pipe through the hole you have made at the top of the banner. It should slip right through.

Next you will take your yarn and loop it inside of the copper pipe. Tie it to the other edge of the yarn with about 50% extra give. This means your piece of yarn is about 20”.

From here you’ll just hang it on the wall and get ready to party! I used command strips to hang it which is my go to for parties so I can always pull the hooks right out of the wall without making holes.
