2. Alphabet Banner Template

How to Make Alphabet Banner:

  • Print out the free printable letters onto cardstock
  • Cut out
  • hole punch twice
  • String onto grosgrain ribbon

Tip and Trick: Using carstock will prevent the letters from curling or blowing outside in the wind. Hole punching twice will allow the letters to hang evenly, especially the I and L. Using a 1/4″ or larger grosgrain ribbon will prevent the letters from slipping into each other. You want the ribbon to fill the hole punched hole well. This way you don’t have to use any tape.

3. Party Game Signs

Since these free printable letters are a full size page 8.5 x 11 they make for great party game signs. In this case, I used them to direct guests in a church gym so everyone can quickly see what games are available and how to play.
