June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and we’re here to help you celebrate. In this blog post we’ll walk you through a super simple DIY Mini Pride Garland that you can use to decorate your bedroom!

But first, here are some other activities to check out this month:
  • Visit our all-virtual LGBTQIA+ group for teens, Alphabet Soup 
  • Pick up a Family Pride Activity Kit from any City Library location starting June 1 (while supplies last).
  • Participate in Pride Week activities hosted by the Utah Pride Center.
  • Come look at our Pride archives display in the Urban Room of the Main Library. Awesome news clippings, photos, and articles about Salt Lake’s LGBTQIA+ history will be on display!
  • To learn more about other activities and resources, go to our webpage here.

Today, let’s make a DIY Mini Pride Garland. For this craft you will need colored paper, twine, scissors, and a glue stick. If you don’t have colored paper or twine, you can pick up supplies for this craft at any City Library location starting June 1, while supplies last. 

The colors we’ve included in this DIY Pride Garland are the same colors you’ll find in the Progress Pride Flag.

  • The white, pink, and baby blue colors represent our trans community.
  • The brown and black colors represent our LGBTQIA+ community of color.
  • The rainbow colors represent all of the other many identities that fall under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.

Now let’s get started!

First, you will lay out your twine on a table or on the floor.

Next, fold all of your papers in half.

Glue the paper strips together. You can also glue the paper to the twine if you don’t want them to move around.

Cut the bottom of the paper however you like. You can cut them as shown in the picture, in triangles, or any other creative way you want!

You’re done! Find a place to hang your garland. You can tie, tape, or pin them almost anywhere!

Happy Pride Month!
