This is a pretty quick little project, especially when you use the Cricut. From start to finish was about 40 minutes, and that included the cutting!

Cricut Design Space:
The cut file for Easter Egg Banner has been designed and is mostly ready to go in Cricut Design Space.
As it is currently sized, the finished size of each pennant banner is about 4 x 6 inches. This can be adjusted by highlighting all design pieces and dragging the bottom right-hand corn to the desired size.
This is also for only one pennant, so make sure to duplicate all pieces of the projects for the number of pennants you want for your banner. My banner has 5 pennants.
Once you have everything ready, select Make It.
Follow the prompts to cut out your pieces. Cricut Design Space will tell you when to place the scoring stylus into the clamp.
I cut this out on a Cricut Explore Air 2 but this could also be cut on the Maker.
Assembling the 3D Egg Silhouettes:
Fold each of the eggs down the center along the scoreline.
To layer, keep the paper egg folded in half. Apply the double-sided adhesive to the half paper and lay the next folder paper egg on top so all sides line up.
Layer 5 paper eggs on top of one another, all the same way.
Once all have been glued together the egg will fan out and you will be able to see all of the layers.
Repeat until you have all of the 3D eggs for your banner completed.
Assembling the Pennant Banner:
To glue the eggs onto the pennant banners, turn them over and apply glue to the back of the 3D egg and then center on the pennant. Press into place.
To string the pennants together use some ribbon or twine.
Hang your cute Easter Egg Banner and admire your craftiness!
I told you this banner was simple! Plus, you could copy this design for so many different holidays. Instead of an egg for Easter use a shamrock for St. Patrick's Day or a heart for Valentine's Day!

So fun to see your take on my Easter banner! I love the paper that you used. I shoulda thought to use my Silhouette. Much faster I'm sure. 🙂

Great tutorial! I pinned the original by Kara, too and love that you have modified it to incorporate your Silhouette. No matter how you make it, the design idea is fantastic! I have a Silhouette banner that I shared for St. Patrick's Day that can be adapted for any occasion and would love for you to have a look.
Thanks!

Your banner is so cute! As I was reading through your post I was thinking "I would love to make this, but where would I put a banner.". Everyone always seems to hang them from mantels, of which I don't have. Then I saw your final picture and I have a big entry way just like that. I can't wait to make this now. 🙂 thanks!
