DIY Easy Spring Banner Tutorial

I then cut my roll of burlap down to my desired size. I already had this burlap roll, but this would cost you about 5.00 dollars at the craft store if you were to buy it. Next, I hot glued just the top of my bright paper onto the burlap.

And that’s it! I added the mini clothespins to the top of each pennant, but they are just decorative and are not actually holding anything up. I think the clothespins would be adorable spray painted bright pink, but I was trying to keep the steps to a minimum here.

Both the white pitcher and white bowl are from a thrift shop and the bowl is holding porcelain Easter eggs. Thrift shops are my favorite place to get accessories. One day I have to do a post on my giant collection of thrift shop items! Although we had snow here this morning, I think we have finally reached the turning point for spring…I hope the weather is breaking wherever you are as well!

Fresh Ideas to Customize Your DIY Spring Banner for Easy Seasonal Décor

Creating a DIY spring banner is a simple and budget-friendly way to add charm and seasonal color to your home. Whether you’re decorating a mantel, entryway, or backyard fence, a homemade banner adds a cheerful touch that celebrates the arrival of warmer weather. With a few creative flourishes, your spring banner can go from basic to beautifully personalized.

Materials and Add-Ons to Elevate Your Banner

• Burlap or Canvas: Swap out traditional cardstock for a rustic look that adds texture and durability.
• Felt Flowers or Leaves: Glue on handmade felt embellishments in bright spring colors for a soft, dimensional finish.
• Mini Pom Poms or Tassels: Add along the edges or between banner pieces for a playful, festive vibe.
• Wooden Letters or Stencils: Use lightweight wooden cutouts or paint-on lettering for a more polished, long-lasting design.
• Lace or Twine: Replace ribbon with lace or natural jute twine for a farmhouse or cottagecore aesthetic.

Easy Alternatives for Budget and Time

• Printable Templates: Use free printable banner pieces and spring graphics to save time and simplify your layout.
• Upcycled Materials: Repurpose old fabric scraps, greeting cards, or paper bags for a sustainable and budget-friendly version.
