Fall Paper Bunting Toddler Craft

It is officially time to welcome Fall and I am so excited! Friday was the official first day of Fall, so in honor of my favorite season, each post this week will be a celebration of everything I love about it!

And if there is one thing I love to do in the Fall, it’s crafts. Who’s with me? This year, Oscar is at a great age for crafts so I started thinking of ways we could do something together. I love the idea of using children’s artwork as part of the decor so I wanted it to be something we could display. I decided that we would make a paper bunting! It was a lot of fun and Oscar loves to look at his “project” every time he comes into the living room. And it’s SUPER easy!

How To Make a Fall Paper Bunting

1. Gather your supplies

I wanted to have a mix of decorative and homemade so I chose a multi-pack of patterned cardstock. This worked really well because Oscar could do whatever he wanted and even if that meant one sticker, there was still a bit of visual interest. I also grabbed a spool of glitter ribbon to string it up, a hole punch, stickers, chalk and glitter glue.

{Money saving tip: Get your glitter glue from Target instead of a craft store. I found mine in the $1 bin!}

2. Cut out your Triangles

Depending on the age of your child, you might have to do this part yourself like me. I had 5 different patterns of paper and cut out 3 triangles from each for a total of 15. Punch a hole on each point of the shorter end and then go crazy!

Oscar loved squeezing the glue and “painting” with it. I basically had to bribe him with more glue to get him to use a sticker but once he realized he could paint OVER the sticker he was sold. This was a fun and very easy project to do together!

3. Assemble your Bunting

I did this part during nap time. The ribbon I got was the perfect size to fit through the hole punch without having to knot it in between, but you could do that for a special touch if you want to!

I also decided to use the black paper for the letters and wrote out the word FALL with chalk. Originally, I had planned to cut out the letters, but since I had the chalk I thought I would try it out. It was easy and cute!

Once it was finished I hung it on our fireplace and we are ready to welcome Fall!
