Get The TechniqueI made some birthday decorations for my sister Lee! This banner couldn't have been easier- and made from basic household items too. First I used 3x5 index cards to cut out letters. Cutting them from the existing rectangle allowed me to quickly make letters of a uniform size spelling...
Then I punched two small holes in the top of each letter and threaded twine through (if you don't have twine, you can always use dental floss!) -
See how easy the letters are to cut out?
And don't forget- index cards come in different sizes and colors- even neon!

Cute...I like the little paper monsters.

Cute, but I'd cut out the holes too.

Very clever solution to making uniform letters. I really like them as presentd w/the holes intact--not so ordinary. But an alternative to cutting the holes from the letters (which w/out using an x-acto knife, might destroy their shapes) you could cut holes to size from a second index card and affix them to the letters w/a gluestick.
