DIY Autumn Banner Tutorial

Can you feel autumn starting to creep into the air? I know I can and I’m getting excited about it. Today I’m sharing how to make this DIY autumn banner with you. It’s a pretty simple project!

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-UnleashedDIY Autumn Banner Supplies:

  • Assorted Fall Colored Cardstock
  • Darice Assorted Leaves Craft Dies
  • Banner Punch Board (optional)
  • Dimensional Squares & Adhesive
  • Coordinating Ribbon
  • Embossing Die Cutting Machine & Electronic Die Cutting Machine

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-suppliesStep 1. Trim your colored cardstock down to about the size of banner flags you’d like. I cut mine to be 5 x 7 inches.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step 2. Using the Banner Punch Board, cut the peaks out of the bottom of the banner pieces.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step 3. Punch holes in the top of your banner pieces.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-5All of your banner pieces should look like this.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-6Step 4. Use the Sand-it Gadget to lightly distress the edges of each banner piece.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-7Step 5. Using a piece of each color of cardstock, lay out your leaves to be cut.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-8Step 6. Put your leaves through your embossing machine. I was able to get nine leaves out of my 5 x 5 inch squares.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-9You should end up with a fun pile of colorful leaves.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-10Step 7. Separate your leaves onto the different banner pieces. Each banner piece has no leaves of the same color on them.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-11Step 8. Using the Kraft cardstock, cut out circles in the size you want. Mine are just over 2 1/4 inches. I used my electronic die cutting machine to cut these. Adhere the leaves to the back of the circles.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-12Step 9. Use dimension squares on the back of the circle/leaves. Adhere to the front of the autumn banner piece.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-13Step 10. Cut out your letters to spell autumn. I used my electronic die cutting machine for this as well. Mount dimension squares on the back of your letters.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-14Step 11. Adhere your letter to the front of the Kraft cardstock circle. At this point, this is what your autumn banner pieces should look like.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-15Step 12. Lace your ribbon through the holes at the top of the banner.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-16Now you are ready to hang up your autumn banner! I love that you can see the light distressing on the edges of the banner.

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-17This is the perfect banner for the fall season. You can enjoy it from September all through November!

Autumn-banner-DIY-tutorial-Coredinations-Crafts-Unleashed-2This autumn banner is perfect for a mantel, shelf, or it could hang on a wall as well.
