A Crafty Arab: Eid Puff Banner Tutorial

Eid Puff Banner Tutorial by A Crafty Arab

The girls and I love making our own pom poms and sometimes we also like to create crafts with ready make pom poms.

We bought a super size bag of them recently and came up with this fun tutorial to share with you to make you own puffy Eid banner.

The word Eid is Arabic for a festive or religious day. For example, it is used to for Eid Al Fitr, which commemorates the end of Ramadan, or Eid Al Abu, which is Father's Day, or even Eid Mīlād, which is Christmas.

We used just the word Eid so we can put it up for either Eid Al Fitr or Eid Al Adha. We can even put it up for Eid Al Umm (Mother's Day) or even a birthday. So many possibilities.

Cut out the letters E I and D from the computer printouts and trace them on the cardboard. We have a lot of cardboard left over, since my living room looked like this about a month ago.

Use the Xacto to cut out the letters. Use a ruler to help with the straight edges if you wish.

We just randomly added the puff balls to your letters. Don't worry about gaps since you have the pretty silver color underneath. Here are our finished letters close up.
