I did not do a lot of decorating for Elise’s birthday party. I did, however, make a super quick and easy ‘Happy Birthday’ banner that made us both happy. And today I’m going to show you just how quick and easy it was.
First, I started off with a pre-cut pad of paper (called a mat stack or a mat pad in the scrapbooking world). I picked this one up at Michael’s. It’s basically just a bunch of sheets pre-cut to a certain size, which eliminates cutting up larger sheets.
I designed my banner, then fed the paper through the printer. After the ink was dry, I trimmed off those white margins.
I used some mini clothespins to hang them up onto a length of string and done! Fastest party decoration ever.
No gluing, no sewing, no tape. I’d be shocked if it took more than ten minutes to put together. A bonus: the whole thing can be disassembled and saved to use again at another birthday party.

Prints in black ink on your choice of paper. Bright colors or subtly patterned paper look best!
But it looks great on kraft paper too, if you’re going for a more subdued, adult color scheme.

Congrats on the new shop! It looks great!
Thanks, I hope to add more printables soon.
