In the spirit of party prepping I was starting to have crafting withdrawls. I decided that JDub’s highchair needed a little homemade decor. We plan to do a fun cake smash at home with just the family. You know this mamma, I need cuteness on everything. I searched Pinterest and Etsy for ideas and decided that a colorful diy birthday highchair banner was the perfect project.
Supplies you need to make your Birthday Highchair Banner:
Variety of ribbons and trim (2 yards of each)
Measure the jute twine to the desired length needed to secure on highchair. Find the center of twine and secure your burlap pennant by folding over the edge and securing with staples.
Next measure our your ribbons and trim to the desired length, I wanted mine to hang lower than the pennant. Find the center of the ribbons and secure around the twine with a simple knot.
You can put the ribbons in a patter or random order. I went with a pattern on both sides.
When you are finished attaching the ribbons and twine. Place a sheet of paper under your pennant, it is a wide weave and paint will go through it to the surface behind it. I used a simple brush to free hand our 1 in place. Next I used the end of a sponge brush to make the polka dots.
Let your paint dry and you are ready to hang your Highchair Birthday Banner!
I love all of our pictures from our fun smash cake experience and the banner was just the added touch we needed.

April 3, 2016 at 3:52 pmBeautiful! And so much more practical than what I made my son for his first birthday. A crown. Which stayed on his head for .5 seconds! High chair banner is so much smarter! Thanks for linking up at Saucy Saturdays.
