Printable banners are such a fun, inexpensive way to decorate for a holiday!
Today I’m sharing two free printable Happy Halloween banners that are sure to add holiday fun to your home or classroom.
These banners are super easy to use and look great together so you can mix and match if you’d like. There’s also an option to get the full alphabet for a personalized message!

How to use printable banners
Picking the best paper for the job is super important for nice looking results. Plain printer paper just won’t look good or hold up well!
Cardstock is more durable, but it can make colors look dull and images kind of blurry. It’s a better choice than printing on plain paper, though.
For best results, print your banner on presentation paper.
Presentation paper is a light cardstock with a special coating so the ink doesn’t just sink into the paper. It gives bright, vibrant colors and crisp images. It’s also sturdier than printer paper, which means your banner will last longer!
- Perfect for non-glare photographs, craft projects and signage.
- Resists fading up to 72 years.
- Guaranteed to work with all inkjet printers.
These are my free printable mermaid bingo cards. The card on the left was printed on presentation paper while the card on the right was printed on cardstock using the exact same printer and settings. The the difference is more pronounced in real life than in the photo, but I think you can still tell that the presentation paper creates more crisp, vibrant images.
I like to cut the long, straight cuts with a paper cutter then only use scissors for the two angled cuts. I’ve used this paper cutter for years and love the wire guide that helps you make super accurate cuts!
The pendants are two per page and approximately 4.75″ x 7.5″. (They’re 4.7964″ x 7.5294″ when printed at 100% if you want to get really exact.)
To hang your banner use a small hole punch to punch two holes per pendant. Thread them onto ribbon, hang, and enjoy! Using ribbon that is just slightly wider, or pretty much exactly the same size, as your hole punch helps the pendants stay in place. You can also use a piece of tape on the back of each pendant to keep the letters in the right place.
A “normal” hole punch usually makes a 1/4″ hole. I like to use a 1/8″ punch for banners.
