Easter banner

Can you tell I'm really excited for Spring/Easter to come?? I may be a little too obsessed with banners lately. They're cheap/free, easy, and make a big impact. On top of that my girls love them! Brynlee alway's says "mom that is SO cute" so maybe that really is the reason why I love making them (who can resist that from their child, especially when I usually just get glares :) ) So, here is my Easter Banner:

  • I just used a 6x6 square and folded it in half to make the patter for the triangles.
  • I printed off the letters "Happy Easter" and cut them out in circles (I don't want to talk about the uneven circles bytheway)
  • I used blue paper as the background for the letters
  • Twine is what it is hanging on (twine is the best for hanging banner fyi...)
  • Last but not least I raided all of my scraps (I save every scrap, and it came in handy today. I'm telling you I may be the cheapest person there is but it pays off...sometimes.) and tied little pieces of fabric and ribbon in between letters.
  • This thing was super easy and my girls love it! I'm not going to lie though tying all those tiny ribbons took awhile...Luckily my girls took extra long naps today.
