(Similar to how I celebrate Moon Festival with a vengenance even though I only lived in China for six months and wasn&#8217;t really a part of the festival while there.  I know. I&#8217;m shameless.) <a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5327\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5327\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5327\" title=\"banner2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"banner2\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a>Anywho, needless to say, I am hosting a fiesta of all fiestas this year and thought I would share my ideas this week.<\/p>\n<p>I created this fun Cinco de Mayo Banner using images from a vintage Mexican napkin I found at a local antique store last winter.

Using a mini paper hole punch, punch holes on both sides of each letter.  Take spare ribbon and tie the letters together.  I did not have time to purchase matching ribbons for the photos, but for my celebration I am going to include ribbons with lots of different colors and textures.<br \/>\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5332\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5332\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5332\" title=\"banner7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-300x98.jpg\" alt=\"banner7\" width=\"300\" height=\"98\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-768x252.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-1024x336.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-810x266.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7-1140x374.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner7.jpg 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5329\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5329\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5329\" title=\"banner4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner4-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"banner4\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5331\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5331\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5331\" title=\"banner6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/banner6-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"banner6\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Want more Cinco de Mayo ideas?
