Today I'm taking a little break from our Washington, DC trip to bring you an easy
Back to School Map Banner.
Last year I gave the mantel a back to school makeover when I wasn't quite ready to bring out the pumpkins but I'd had enough of seashells and Americana.
This banner is the perfect accompaniment.
I had all of the supplies on hand which made it even easier(and free!).
Supplies Needed:
Old maps (you can also photo copy maps or print from internet)
Scissors
Pen
Ribbon
Hole Puncher
Ruler
Cardboard
Use the ruler to make a template out of the cardboard. Trace the template onto the maps and cut out as many as you need (I used 7 total).
Use a hole puncher to punch out two holes along the straight edge of each banner piece and string to together with ribbon.
Hang it up. It was so light I used masking tape to hang it.
The masking tape makes it easy to adjust where you want to hang it.
This was the sweet spot for me.
Simple and sweet!
