Create an Unforgettable School Start: DIY Decoration Guide

The first day of school is a special occasion, and with lovingly crafted decorations, you can make this unforgettable day even more beautiful. In today's blog post, we'll show you how to easily create name cards, a bunting, and decorative picks yourself. This guide is especially suitable for beginners and promises a lot of fun while crafting!

Preparing the Templates

Before you start crafting, it's essential to print out the templates. These are important for cutting out the required shapes perfectly. After printing, carefully cut out the templates.

Making Name Cards

Start with the name cards. First, cut rectangles from cardstock. Double the height of the finished name card is required as it will be folded once in the middle. Create a nameplate to attach to the front. You can choose simple shapes or creative designs like waves. For decoration, you can use letter and number confetti or your own drawings. Alternatively, you can write the name directly on the card using hand lettering. Another highlight can be a small element made of cardstock, such as a pencil or an apple.

Small Decorative Picks

For the decorative picks, cut long rectangles from cardstock and attach them around a toothpick or skewer. Point the ends or leave them straight. You can also cut out the template of a school bag, transfer it to cardstock, and stick it onto a skewer. Decorate the finished picks with letters, numbers, or handmade elements. These picks are perfect as decoration for the school start buffet.

Making the Bunting

For the bunting, transfer the large pennant template onto cardstock multiple times and cut it out. Punch out the holes for the hanging. Decorate the pennants with checkered triangles or write words like "First Day of School." String the finished pennants onto a ribbon. If necessary, you can secure them with tape to prevent them from sliding.

Now the pennants are ready for the big day!
