Easy Garden Welcome Banner

After having done countless craft projects that involved tissue paper, I had been saving a rather large collection of tissue paper confetti. Since I’m never one to throw stuff away, I saved these bits of colorful goodness to recycle for other projects like this one! Our vegetables are starting to arrive in our garden, and what better way to welcome them than with this garden welcome banner. It’s quick, easy, and even the littlest crafters can make it with great results!!

I cut out letter-frames of construction paper to spell out the word “welcome” and placed them right-side down on a sheet of clear contact paper. Then I invited the girls over to decorate the letters with all that fun confetti!
For Clara, this was a great exercise in letter-recognition and fine motor skills. She was so proud of her letters!
Emily thought the bright colors would make the plants feel as though our garden was one big fiesta!!
I added another sheet of clear contact paper sticky side down to sandwich the letters in-between. She used binder clips to attach the letters in the right order to a length of laundry line — great spelling practice and the binder clips helped challenge her pincher grasp too.

…and now our garden is starting to look a whole lot more colorful!
