Happy Halloween Banner Assembly
Supplies
Green cardstock (2)
Purple cardstock (1)
Black cardstock (10)
Orange cardstock (8)
Yellow cardstock (1)
White cardstock (1)
Adhesive of choice (glue, tape runner, tape dots)
Twine, ribbon, or yarn
The banner is sized so that you can fit two pieces on 12x12 cardstock. The counts next to each color above is for 12x12 cardstock. If you are using 8.5x11 cardstock, you will need to cut each banner piece on its own sheet, so double the number listed above.
If you are using different colors for your banner or using decorative pieces more than once, layout the design in your design software and then count up what you need.

Note the direction of the H, A, O, and Y pieces when you are assembling because they are easy to attach backwards (I know from experience!). The swooshy crossbar on the H and A should be on the left-hand side when faced correctly. The narrow ascender on the Y should be on the right-hand side when facing you. The decorative bit on the top of the O should be on the left-hand side when facing you.
