Okay, just one more post about Elliott’s birthday party—it’s the last one: I promise! As part of our family party last weekend, I created a little “photo spot” for everyone to take pictures at. Today I thought I’d share the printable “Up, Up, and Away” bunting banner I created as part of it. Download the design for yourself and prepare to take flight!
I love that picture! Seeing all my cute boys together like that just makes my heart melt. Plus, this is a rare photo of my older son not turning his head or outright scowling because I’m taking a picture of him.
I had a lot of fun making this backdrop! I just used butcher paper for the balloon and clouds, for the “basket” I painted and cut out a foam core poster, and for the garland, I just cut strips of fabric and tied them to some twine (this part actually took WAY longer than I thought it would). For the bunting, I printed the design on some craft paper and hung it up with more twine—definitely the easiest part of the whole process! And I think it tied everything together nicely.
I actually can’t take all the credit for this backdrop, or the rest of the party. My sweet husband helped me every step of the way: blowing up balloons, cutting fabric strips, cleaning the house—all while he was feeling sick, I might add. So a big shoutout to you Isaac!

Here’s a few more pictures of everyone enjoying our little “photo spot:”
Have fun using this “Up, Up, and Away” bunting banner for your next party. Whether it’s for a “photo spot” like this or just a fun decoration, it’s sure to look great!
