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. 
Join us the last Friday of each month for a different Inspired Makers Challenge

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.

Cute<3 I donated a globe years ago that I wish i saved for a project like his! Happy Holidays
Short, sweet, and to the point! Love it!
I love this, and it’s like you read my mind….I liked those chalkboard globes, but I didn’t want to paint over a globe (globes are cool!). Thank you for sharing this with us at Treasure Box Tuesday- Pinned!! 🙂 ♥
What a fun idea! I love this. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
That is really cute, we have a globe I will do this too/.

I loved this idea so much that I made a similar version with map garland. Thanks for the inspiration! I credited your blog for the idea.

Cute project! Thank you for joining HSH! Have a very Merry Christmas!
What a clever idea. I love dressing up things I already have for the holidays. Pinned.
This is so cute! I did my mantle with a ‘Peace on Earth’ theme last year and loved it. The little banner on the globe is just perfect! Thanks for sharing with Creating Christmas.
hugs,

This is such a versatile project! We just came off a whole month of traveling and this would be a great project for our family! Easy banners to switch out!
Cute Ann! I am excited to do this with our globe, a fun vintage find.
Super cute idea! Will have to try this at Christmas with my son’s globe. Thank you for sharing.
I love this idea. Thanks for sharing!
I love how simple and classic this looks! Pinning for Christmas 🙂
