I decided to make a happy birthday banner for my son's 4th birthday. The theme of his party was none other than his absolute favorite, Lightning McQueen. I was trying to do this one a budget, since we are getting ready to move and add multiple updates to our new house. I purchased all of my paper, cardstock and ribbon from Hobby Lobby (love that store!). First, I cut out the banner onto blue cardstock. Then, I cut the pieces for the road, the circles, scallops, Lightning McQueen and letters with my cricut. To make the accordion circles, I cut 1.5 in x 12 in strips with my MS paper trimmer. Then scored the strips at 1/2 in apart. Then, I assembled all the parts, strung it up on some red ribbon, and voilĂ , a cool bday banner.
