In honor of Labor Day, we’ve found an incredibly low-labor do-it-yourself project that can be used at any type of celebration: DIY banners made from themed tableware! Simply punch holes in the top of pretty paper plates, decorate each plate with the letters of your banner phrase, then string everything together and hang above a gift table, candy buffet or doorway!

This letter banner was made to coordinate with BigDotofHappiness.com’s Owl Girl – Look Whooo’s Having a Baby – baby shower theme, and was a breeze to create! And wouldn’t it look great when framed with rosette wall decorations, or decorated further with burlap? (Click here to learn how to make your own rosette decorations).

This DIY party idea can be used to decorate a variety of venues, since it’s easy to find tableware that matches your unique baby shower or birthday party theme! Simply pick your colors, determine a personalized saying and have fun adding a personal touch to your next party.
