How to paint a party banner using supplies from Amazon

When banner painting became popular on TikTok I was immediately sucked in. It started with my daughter’s first birthday, and I’ve been trying to find an excuse to paint banners for every event since.

It’s both therapeutic and sentimental for me because my mom painted a banner for my first birthday in 1994, and she reused it for every birthday of mine. It is something I’ll cherish forever and a tradition that I want to pass on to my own daughter.

There are several different ways to banner paint, but I prefer to start by designing my layout in Canva (I start with a custom 5x6-inch template). It can be rough, and the colors and details don’t need to be exactly how you want them to end up looking, but getting the general shell and spacing right on Canva helps things stay centered and organized when you begin to paint.

Once I am done with my Canva design, I export the image and save it to my camera roll on my phone. I center and hang my banner paper to the wall, set up my projector, and then project the design image from my phone to the projector via bluetooth or screenshare with a Roku remote and HDMI. After I have my design projected onto my banner paper, sometimes I outline with a chalk pencil before I begin to paint. If it’s a simpler design, I get straight to painting!
