Small Wall Hanging

Holiday decorations are a breeze with these quick and easy miniature banners. They're great for gifts, thank you notes, and surprises, too!

1. Is a holiday coming up? Would someone you love like a gift made just for them? Make a Small Wall Hanging to decorate!

2. Choose a dowel stick that is slightly longer than the paper you will use for your banner. Fold down the top of the paper far enough to go around your dowel stick.

3. Draw a picture with Crayola® Washable Markers on the front of your paper. Cut out the sides and bottom of your design with Crayola Scissors.

4. Slide the wooden dowel inside the folded section on the back of the paper. Seal the edge with a Crayola Glue Stick. Tie ribbon to each end of the stick to hang.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points

"My son made seven wall hangings. He's learning the names of days of the week. He added daily routines to each one."
Maxine C., mother of 4-year-old.

"Children designed these hangings with names for their cubbies. They remind me of a medieval hall."
Song L., child care volunteer.

In early times, people carried objects on poles to send a message or announce a person's arrival. Later, pieces of colored cloth were attached and the objects got smaller. The designed cloth could be seen from a distance. This is how coat of arms designs became connected to specific people or groups.
