Warmest thanks to Angela at Knick of Time for graciously sharing her template for a wonderful banner. Go here: http://knickoftimeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/09/create-banner-with-printable-antique.html (ugly link)
It was my first banner and her template really made it a simple, fun, creative experience. I love how the banner looks against the buffalo check curtains in my dining room. I printed off the template on linen colored cardstock sizing it to 2 5x7s on the paper. I used a stencil and a black oil based paint Sharpie. Quick and easy, but remember to work on a protective surface as the paint may bleed through the paper. Anglea gives you other options for stenciling the banner. After I let the paint dry, (not long), I cut the pages out and then used a single hole punch on the upper right and left hand corners of the page. Next, I strung twine, inserting the twine from the front upper left hand corner and then pulling it back through to the front upper right hand corner. I continued this process on all the stenciled pages. I tied a knot to hold the last page in position and then when all the pages had been strung tied that end off as well. (It's pretty self-explanatory and not as complicated as I seem to be making it. lol)
Here's my banner:
