How to Make A New Year Banner, or NYE Banner, with Templates
Templates make designing easy; you won’t have to stress over designing each letter on Word or an app. All the letters, numbers, and signs you need can easily be downloaded, and if you have a printer and some hot glue, you’re good to go. If you’re willing to try out one of these templates here’s a design that you can create. But first, these are the things you’ll need.
- Cardstock and patterned paper
- Pre-cut letters
- Strings
- Printable Banner Templates from either of the sites we’ve listed
- Scissors
- Glue or tape adhesive
- Hole punch
- Paper trimmer
The best thing about banner templates is that you can use any paper you deem fit for the occasion. For this new year banner, you can download and print the templates and buy a gold cardstock to trace and cut out the templates. Bring out your cardstock; if it is 12x12, you’ll need to trim it down to printer size which is usually 8.5x11” using either scissors or a paper trimmer. Now you can use the downloaded printable banner template from whichever site and determine the size you’d like your banners to be. If you want it big, then you can print one per page, for a medium-size print 2 per page, and for really tiny ones, print 25 per page. Use your paper trimmer or scissors to trim out each banner on the thin lines. Once trimmed, you can customize them however way you wish. To add weight and life to the gold cardstock, you can purchase a solid color (preferably black) matting banner template. Glue the gold cardstock banners to the black cardstock and leave at a ¼” around the banner. The banner is almost done, but you’ll need some letters to really bring out that Happy New Year's designs and vibe. You can download letter templates online (in the sites) or buy pre-cut letters from a store. Stick the letters onto the front and center of the banners with glue or adhesive. Finally, to give the banners their moment, punch some holes, and string the banners together. This can be done by feeding the string or ribbon through the holes—the front or the back. And that’s your banner, easy and cheap to make. Using canvas can also be helpful and definitely beats using clip art!
Felt Banner with Templates
Tools you’ll need include;

Print out your template and letters. Trace the template out on a black felt with scissors and trace the white felts out for the letters.

Wrap the black felt around the dowel rod and secure using hot glue. Tie twine to both ends of the dowel rod to hang on your wall. This is perfect for school or hanging in your house.
