Free Sock Monkey Birthday Printables: Banner

We didn't have a party for Jude's birthday this year, we just took him to his favorite play place in the mall, let him eat McDonald's french fries for lunch, and then had the only meal he'll eat (spaghetti) for dinner. In spite of not having a party, I intended to decorate like it was a big deal anyway. I still wanted the day to feel special.

So, I made a few printable decorations, which I've decided to share here. The first thing I'm sharing is the "happy birthday" banner:
The banner flags come two to a page, so they are approximately 8 inches tall. All you have to do is cut them out, punch holes or cut slits in the top corners, and thread them with string, yarn, twine, ribbon, or whatever suits your fancy.

I, of course, went a little overboard once I decided to share the decorations online, so be watching in the next several days for more sock monkey decorations, including:

Please let me know if you use my decorations, I'd love to see pictures!

ETA: Hi, I'm so sorry to anyone who is new to my blog, but we've added 3 kids to our family through foster-adoption, and I just don't have time to customize the birthday printables anymore. I hope you'll understand! Feel free to enjoy the free ones. :)

  3. thanks so much for posting all of your printables! i love them...and they're perfect for my son's first birthday party. however, i printed out the banner and it appears that the "HA" are in the wrong colors? I can easily use the "h" from the other sheet, but there isn't a red "a"? is there any chance you could re-post the "HA" please? thanks again so much - these are adorable!

  12. Thank you so much for sharing. Would you happen to have the thank you card with a white background? I LOVE the blue but am afraid it will take too much ink =)

  18. Hi, I found this on Pinterest and love it, I saw in the comments that you had it in pink colors. I was wondering if you still had them since its from a while ago? I emailed you but I know sometimes my emails do not always go threw.
