How to hang it
- Print all pages and cut out the shapes along the dashed line.
- Punch two holes at the top of each page, where the marks show.
- Thread a long string through the holes in order. Page numbers help if you turn them on.
- Hang the string across a doorway, a mantel or a porch.
Which style looks best
A pennant in one solid color looks neat from a distance. A rectangle with a thin border looks like a sign and works well indoors. Use landscape pages if the banner is long and you want it to look wide.
Print at actual size
In the print dialog, choose 100% or Actual size. Do not choose Fit to page. That setting shrinks the page, and the punch marks move.
Questions
How many pages does Welcome Home need?
WELCOME has 7 letters and HOME has 4, so the banner uses 11 pages. A blank spacer page adds one more.

Yes. Pick Black and Outline. It uses very little ink, and you can print on colored paper.
Is the PDF free?
Yes. There is no watermark and no sign-up.
