In addition to the banner, I made the mama-to-be a crochet cat in the hat hat and bow tie for the little boy. Another cousin pulled out these scarves to decorate the table. I knit the one on the right for my FIL years ago. I'm glad that some of my knitting contributed to the decor, too.
Each letter is a full printed page that you can cut out. These were printed on standard printer paper, which made the light shine through in a really pretty way. I cut out the letters and then stapled them to a ribbon to hang above the table.
The mom-to-be is Romanian, and I wanted to have a mini banner in Romanian that said "Welcome Baby." I hope that I got the translation right! (Turns out I made a minor error when transferring the phrase to the banner but I was able to fix it with a sharpie. Copil bun venit!) I printed these letters two to a page so I could make a mini banner for elsewhere in the party.
The banner comes ready to print "Welcome Baby" and then there are blank letters in each of the patterns so you can add your own name or own party theme. I used a Dr. Seuss True Type Font for the letters and Dr. Seuss decals, but you can use whatever font you want. You can even change this to a birthday banner or whatever you want!

I wasn't sure how the colors would print out, but the shade of blue and red that we got from the printer matched the tablecloth and cake PERFECTLY!
I've really enjoyed creating these banners for Lucky's first birthday party and now my cousin's baby shower. The general shape of the banner is the same, but I am super happy with the style. I hope that I get the opportunity to make more in the future and share them with all of you! I'm expecting this baby to show up any day now. EEEE, I cannot wait for Lucky to meet his newest second cousin!
how were you able to put your own letters into banner on a pdf file. Did you print letters and paste on or were you able to enter onto page prior to printing the banner? Beutifully done. I am doing a shower for my daughter and getting free printables has been a mission going from one page to the next. thank you for putting this up. I am sure many have been pleased.
ReplyDeleteHi Evy, I wish I had a simple response for you. The powerpoint files I used to create the images were way to big to share easily online, so I printed them into high resolution PDF's.
DeleteThe simplest thing to do would be to either handwrite or print out text and cut and paste it onto the banner, but this isn't a very elegant solution.
There are some PDF to powerpoint converters out there. I haven't tried them out and have no idea what kind of resolution you would get from the file. There may also be some high resolution screenshot techniques that would allow you to copy pages into powerpoint or word.
Good luck! Please let me know if you find a solution that works.
Hi, where did you get the striped red and white tablecloth.....I just love it?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it, but I'm not sure where it came from. My mother-in-law rented it somewhere.
DeleteThank you so very much! These are so perfect for the baby shower I'm throwing! Super cute! Very grateful for your free print. Helps out so much!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad that someone else was able to use it! I figured that since I worked so hard to make it someone else should be able to take advantage of it, too. :)
