A Terribly Unorganized Tutorial on Banners
Actually, it's not that unorganized at all, despite the blogger's title. Cute idea for making a banner with felt and paper.

Snowflake Banner
Is it garland or is it a banner? Either way, it's gorgeous! And it's felt, not paper, but you can see what it would look like.
Festive Forest Garland
Again, I suppose this really falls under the garland category, but you could put letters on each tree and have a banner in no time.
Martha Stewart's Banner/Garland
This is for birthday garland but could easily be adapted for Christmas.

    Great idea! It may seem very simple but it brightens the area and brings the Holiday spirit.

    What a unique idea! I did something similar one year with old Christmas cards, collected the funniest ones and made a fun collage, then hung in in the hallway by the bathroom. So many people ended up in that hallway at our Christmas party that no one could get to the bathroom.

    How fun! Did you take pictures?
