Birthday Garland

Since birthday season is in full swing around here, I've been wanting to make one of those Martha Stewart-esque paper garlands.

I printed my letters onto colored paper using a really big font. To form the circle shape, I traced around a coaster and then cut them out. Then I glued the colored circles to pieces of card stock that were a little bit bigger (I used a slightly larger coaster).


Next, I punched two holes near the top of the circles and strung them on two different lengths of yarn, but I think next time I will use thin ribbon instead.

Here they are hung up for my husband's birthday dinner. I plan to use them for the girl child's party next weekend too.
