Paper banners aren't only verstile in their design styles. I've realized that they can also be versatile in their use. Mainly made for parties and special events, although they don't have to be, They also don't have to be thrown out right after the event is over. Some banners can be kept as a gift, a long term decoration, or as a keepsake. In this post, I'll be sharing 5 cute, creative, and Krafty uses for paper banners.

1. Wall Decor

Hanging paper banners on the wall as party decoration is one of the most common and original uses for this classic kraft. They can be used for birthdays, baby showers, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, work parties, school parties, and more. By switching up the words, the theme, and the style of a banner, you can use it to add a decorative touch to any event. Depending on the style and text chosen for the banner, you may be able to reuse it for another event, or repurpose it as wall decor for a room in your home.

2. Table Decor

Using custom banners for table decor is similar to using it as wall decor, in the sense that they're both mainly done for parties & special events . Banners can be used to label the different stations at your event or to add a decorative touch to the dessert table. They can also be used for vendor tables, newlywed tables, gift tables, high chairs and more.

3. Photo Banner

Showcase some of your favorite photos in a krafty way. Paper banners can be used as a way to display your family photos, milestones, special occasions, or simply as a sentimental memorabilia that doubles as a piece of wall art. They're great for short term or long term display

4. Cake Topper

Paper banners come in many shapes and sizes. This idea is specifically for small banners. By hanging them on sticks, straws, or whatever else you can think of using as your poles, these mini beauties can be used as a creative and decorative dessert topper for cakes, cupcakes and more!

5. Photo Prop

For this idea, you'll want to take the banner out of the background and use it in the foreground instead. With this Krafty method of using banners, you can creatively emphasize and then capture a special moment. This is great for sharing exciting annoucements, highlighting a special date, a big milstone, or simply adding a decorative touch to your next photoshoot.
