DIY Simple Taco Banner for a Cinco de Mayo Party!

DIY Simple Taco Banner for a Cinco de Mayo Party! | Club Crafted

DIY Simple Taco Banner for a Cinco de Mayo Party! | Club CraftedAre you excited to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend?! I think this will call for a day of celebrating with tacos, margaritas, Modelo and anything else we might need for a mini Cinco de Mayo party. It also happens to be Andrew’s sister’s birthday, so we’ll be celebrating that too, of course! In preparation for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations, I wanted to share a simple DIY taco banner you can make as a quick Cinco de Mayo party decoration. Nothing says PARTY like tacos, right? This simple taco banner is made out of a combination of craft foam and tissue paper to make all of the taco fixings. The foam makes it very durable so it will store well for future use, but you can also make this taco banner using cardstock. Maybe I should keep my taco banner up year-round?…

I’ve been DYING for a reason to feature them in photos and this felt like the perfect opportunity. I scored them at a vintage festival in Palm Springs months ago, and they’re probably one of my favorite things in our kitchen. 

Anyway, back to my mini Cinco de Mayo party decorations…this taco banner took me about 20 minutes to make AND it’s inexpensive, which is always a plus. Hung on the wall behind a food table, it’s the perfect party decoration for any celebration that includes tacos. That should be most celebrations, right?

DIY Simple Taco Banner for a Cinco de Mayo Party! | Club CraftedTime: 20 minutes

Supplies:

  • Craft foam in yellow, brown, red and orange
  • Green tissue paper
  • String
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun

Step 1: Cut large circles out of the yellow foam about 5 inches wide. Cut as many as you need to create your desired length of banner (my garland has 7 tacos).

Step 2: Cut small half circle shapes out of the red foam so that you have 3 “tomatoes” per taco. 

Step 3: Cut larger half circle shapes out of the brown foam so that it spans most of the length of the folded over yellow foam to create the “meat.” You need one per taco.

Step 6: To assemble the taco banner, scrunch the tissue paper to create the appearance of  “lettuce.” Glue it to the top of a yellow circle so that it sticks above the “shell” when the yellow foam is folded over. 

Step 7: Glue the brown piece on top of the tissue paper, followed by the red pieces and orange pieces. All of the toppings should be visible if you fold over the yellow circle.

    Thanks so much for this easy idea! I am actually doing something a little different – decorating a mini Mardi Gras “float” and tacos are part of the theme. These are going to be cute!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
