How to Make a Peace on Earth Holiday Garland for Your Globes

Welcome to the last day of Christmas in July!!!  Not only is it our last day but it’s also our $10 & under DIY blog hop party!  So I combined the two.  I love globes!  And I love thrift stores.  So I knew this $6.99 world globe would be a perfect project if I just added a holiday garland to it.

I’ve seen a lot of people on Pinterest combining globes and chalkboards and I really do like the look of the chalkboard globes.  But I just couldn’t bring myself to paint any of mine so far. So for now I’m just adding a little holiday garland to them.  I’ve made “Peace on Earth” and “Joy to the World”.  But right now I can’t find my “joy” so I’ll have to show that one to you at another time!   Read on to see how I make them.  

Supplies for this Holiday Garland

• white cardstock
• regular copy paper (for pattern OR you can use a Banner Punch Board)
• thin Sharpie
• 1/8″ hold punch
• string

The Christmas banner is pretty simple.  I just printed the words onto white cardstock and cut out the banner shapes.  They’re about 2 1/2″ x 3″ with a triangle shape cut out of the bottom.  I made a pattern with regular copy paper by cutting out a 2 1/2″ x 3″ rectangle then folding it in half.  Then I cut a triangle out about 1″ deep.

Make sure you leave plenty of room around the words when you print it.  Cut out the individual banners, draw a line freehand around the edge with a thin Sharpie, punch holes in the top corners (with a 1/8″ hole punch), then add the string.

OR, if you want an even EASIER way to make these banners, get a Banner Punch Board.  Until I get a video made, watch this demonstration that shows how easy it is to use.   

Couldn’t be easier!  Take a look at the close up below if you’re a visual person like me.

Follow my Love | Maps and Globes in Home Decor board on Pinterest for LOTS more globe ideas.  I also have a Love | Chalkboards board.  Maybe one of these days I’ll find a globe I won’t mind painting.
