Hi friends!!! Remember this picture? Last week was all about the lamp. today I'm all about the banner!
Ok, I'm so not doing well at taking pictures AS I'm doing things. I take about 200 hundred AFTER I'm done.. I'll try to do better at that. anyways, this one thankfully is pretty self explanatory!
First off I had some leftover red burlap
(I'm OBSESSED with burlap right now. so such a good item to have on hand. and so inexpensive.. moving on)
My sister and I get into these um.. adventures? together and we decided we were these big crafty people and stormed a 3 day sale at a gigantic warehouse. I walked in, my mouth FELL open. SO much stuff. well, I was using burlap to make message boards for Christmas gifts and had to buy a minimum of fabric. SO I ended up with much more burlap than I needed. which, is possibly the best thing that ever happened to me. Moving on, again...
I took my leftover red burlap and cut triangles. I traced a piece of paper first so they would all be uniform shapes and then cut over my pattern.
Then my black sharpie. Yep, no fancy stenciling for me on this. Good old sharpie. I know the edges aren't finished and the letters aren't perfect, but that's ME. Things that are too neat get on my nerves sometimes. totally no offense to perfectionists. All my in-laws AND my husband are perfectionists. The perfectionist gene absolutely skipped my family :)
oh, and the black ribbon! Leftover as well. I simply hot glued the burlap onto the ribbon & about 5 min. from start to finish...
This is what I got.
Not gonna lie. I'm tickled pink.. or red. (bad pun. i'll stop) :) I'm making these for people actually, so I put some in my stores. Feel free to check it out here. Burlap is making such a HUGE statement in our new house. I'm so excited to get pictures up and show you guys!!!!
Well, that's all folks. next time, I'll be showing you how to make that adorable wallet that is in my etsy store! Stay tuned ~ M
