Woman reveals that you don’t need tape for party banners as she shares hack

Party banners are a staple of any celebration such as birthdays, an anniversary or engagement.

Whether it’s for your own or a friend’s festivities, you’ll likely have come across the decoration that brandishes celebratory writing for the milestone in question. While they make a cute party accent, they’re not the easiest to put up.

A pesky task that often requires more than one pair of hands to erect, many decorators will find themselves covered in tape that quickly loses its stick if not used immediately. But one woman has revealed how to spare yourself of the annoying chore, as she claims banners don’t need any tape as they are self-sticking

After making her revelation on social media, viewers said their minds were “utterly blown” after learning they’ve been making extra work for themselves, the Mirror reports.

In a TikTok video that’s racked up a whopping 1.3 million viewers, user Hayley, also known as @honestyhayleydemonstrated the far easier banner handing method. “I was today years old when I realised these stick to windows with no tape,” Hayley began.

In fact, banners stick to windows with no tape or Blu Tack whatsoever – they simply stick to the window on their own.
