Rowen's 1st Birthday: Strawberry Banner

I looked online for a few minutes thinking I would be able to find a really cute banner for my daughter's strawberry patch themed birthday party but was completely disappointed with the results. I consider myself to be pretty creative and crafty when I have the time so I decided to make my own banner. My husband, of course, thought I was going overboard on details...if he could only see how much MORE overboard people go on birthday party decor! I started by cutting out the two different strawberry shape sizes and measuring them. From there, I got on my computer and created a file so that I could make sure each letter that I print would fit on the strawberry shapes. Then began lots of cutting and gluing:

From there I added a couple more details like a few green leaf cutouts and white dots for the separator strawberries:

And here is the finished product after a couple paper punches and green yarn:
