Candy Land Banner!

I saw these banners and thought it was so cute.....but....I'm a DIY mom....sooo....of course I had to make it myself instead of ordering it online and paying for it plus s&h lol

This is the original one that I saw online and you can type in your kids name to see how it will look..



Now this is mine! :)


And this is how I did it:

I typed it my baby girls name (yes we have a very unique last name thanks to my husband lol)
Press down Ctrl and PrtSc way at the top of the keyboard at the same time
Open Paint
Edit and Paste
Save
Then you can crop it with any program you have
Once its cropped open it with microsoft word
Change orientation to landscape
Stretch the picture to make it big and move it around- what ever is on the page is what will be printed
So move it around to make it as big as you want and Print each section
Once you printed it, put it together like a puzzle
It won't look as great because it is so zoomed in, so I used a sharpie and outlined everything (lolly, mr mint and all)
Then you can take it to get laminated
OR
You can be like me and do it yourself using lots and lots of strips of tape lol
I did that and then taped and glued (to be very secure) it onto cardstock to make it more thick. (I hadn't glued in to cardstock yet in this pic)
