Can hardly believe it’s that time of year again! I know many of you already sent kiddos back to school. We have just one more weekend and then the children go back on Tuesday. Where in the world has the summer gone? While I am excited to get back into my routine, I will miss these little ones. We really got into a great groove and had so much fun together. Back to school will be an adjustment for sure. Do you remember the DIY Back to School Banner from last year? So so simple. We made them again this year so we have these photos as a remembrance of them headed into second and fourth grades (gasp).
All you need is coordinating paper ( I use my son and daughter’s favorite colors at the time so we can remember that, too), a hole puncher, string and sticker letters. I picked mine up at Michaels. You could also use white paint!!!
And here is a look back at last year’s. Gives you another idea of using tiny clothespins to attach the flags to the string.
You can read the entire tutorial here. It really only took me five minutes to make two of these this past week. Keep the traditions going over here. Hope you’re back to school time is magical and seamless.
Lovely picture and lovely memories. This holiday has gone far too quick, we have a week left and then we are back. So sad. I hope your children have a great year at school x
I absolutely love this! I started years ago using an unfinished plaque I painted with chalkboard paint and each year we write what grade their heading into. If I didn’t have this tradition I would absolutely start with this banner one. So simple and so cute!! Love the favorite color idea too!

That is a fun banner and cute photos! Your kids are adorable Courtney! Your daughter is getting so tall and has your nice long legs and your son looks like a mini of your hubby. My nephew started back to school yesterday and it does seem like summer flew by. My parents would take photos of us at the start of each year and we’ve enjoyed pulling out their photo albums and looking back through the years. Wonderful memories!
Courtney that banner is so cute and your kids are ADORABLE. We go back to school Monday and I’m in total denial!! xo
Love this idea Courtney!! They look so excited. Too cute.
These are too cute! I don’t have any kiddos to send back to school, but I can definitely see a lot of other uses for these banners, too. Thanks!
