Give Thanks Banner-Free Printable

I thought some of you would be interested in a free printable for the banner hanging on my mantel. 
It is super easy to make. I made mine in about 20 minutes and if you're like me you have all the supplies on hand, making this a free project. 

Step One- print the letters: click on the links below and print

*make sure you print the letters on the landscape paper setting.


I printed on brown paper but you could use off white, orange, yellow, or what ever you have that you think will look good. 

Step Two - cut out your letters. I left a small border. 

Step Three - cut slits in the top corners. You could also use a hole punch. 

 Step Four - Thread your ribbon through the openings. 

That's it, you're ready to hang and enjoy.

Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

  35. has anyone made this yet? I cannot get it to print! My printer feeds the paper through, but no ink on paper. Checked ink cart. and it is full. Did I not download the file correctly? help!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Amy, I'm not sure what is happening. I know a few people have been able to print successfully. If it shows up in your print preview correctly it should print. I'm not the best with computers, I wish I could help more. Good Luck.

  46. I Printed mine on a copper-ish scrapbook paper from Michaels and my Husband loves it so much he said we'll use it year after year. I also received several compliments on FB for it too!

    THANKS!

  47. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.

  48. I LOVED this banner!!! Here's what mine looked like: http://arlingtonmama.blogspot.com/2010/11/give-thanks-banner.html

    The only problem now is that I really want one for Christmas *hint-hint*. ;)

    Thanks, again. It was beautiful. My hubby even loved it!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I was hoping to print out your lovely banner on alternating colors of paper, but would need the letters in different combinations. In other words, I'd like to print the G and H on the same paper. Is there a way to either print each letter individually or to mix up the order? I am not at all computer savvy and have been working on this for the better part of an hour now. I love your banner as is, I am just trying to use some cardstock that I already have on hand. Thanks so much!!!

I wanted to let you know that I will be posting a blog about my fall decorations and I made your Give Thanks banner. I will include a link to your site and give you all the credit. I'm new to the blogging world and I am not sure of all the courtesies but I hope that this is enough. Thank you for sharing your sweet ideas.

  62. This is pretty random, but I bought the Thanksgiving blocks (with the vintage images sticking up) that is on top of your mantle at a thrift store. But 2 letters are missing. Would it be possible if I found out which letters that you could take a picture of yours and send me the photo and I could possibly print it out and paste over some blocks to complete my set? Sorry if this is random. Thanks for your help!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Love this banner!! I especially love the vintage blocks on your mantel. Can you let me know where I can buy some too?

  66. I printed these out last year without a hitch and now something has happened. I am having printer problems too. After I download it goes to some google page and only half a letter is on each page. I wish I had saved them last year. Boo hoo!
