- Then select the Insert option on the top left of the page.
- On the Insert menu, select the shape you want, for example, oval.
- Then click on your page so that the oval shape now gets to show up on the document.

To make your letters, there are a couple of things you should do.
You can type them on Microsoft Word and in the same way, print them onto cardstock paper. You can go ahead and cut out each letter to use on the banner.
Another ideal method is using a template that has the alphabetical letters and then tracing it with color on the cardstock you will be using.
In case you have a Silhouette machine, you can also cut the letters from your cardstock paper. You can cut letters that are measuring about three inches or whichever size suits your project.
Requirements:
- letters for your banner
- scrapbooking paper of about four different colors
- a hole puncher
- a glue stick
- a pencil
- a pair of scissors
- circles template both cut out and printed
If your scrapbooking paper doesn’t meet the required width, one will be required to have additional cardstocks for a stronger base.
Create Your Banner
Start by laying out your template and figuring out the pattern you want. You can use four-inch and three-inch circles in three different colors of scrapbooking to make your banner. In this case, you can use the colors green, blue, and brown for your pattern. To get a vintage look, use a vintage pattern that will be able to complement each other.
The next thing is to flip the paper, trace the circles, and cut them out carefully. Once you have cut all of them, go ahead and glue them. They use a puncher to make two holes on top of every circle. Then thread a string into the holes of the circles and ensure they are all good and your baby shower banner is now ready to be displayed- check out how to hang banners with grommets.

These fun banners remind us of celebratory step and repeat banners that are also often used for parties!
