Birthday cake banners are so cute and definitely elevate the cuteness factor of any baby birthday cake as they replace the unnecessary birthday candle since your one-year-old probably can't blow out a candle quuuite yet.

You will need: 

Two paper straws

Pearl beads or stickers

6 inches of eyelet lace

Glue gun

Dab some glue at one end of your straw and secure the bead string. Gently wrap it around the straw three times and secure it at the bottom with more glue.

Secure the lace to each straw and wrap inwards a couple of times.  

Place each straw in at an angle so they are pointed away from each other.
