Hey
Melissa, I wish that instead of living hundreds of miles apart we were
next door neighbors. But since we aren't I just had to show you this
cute banner I made some how. Thank goodness for technology!
It's
a fabric banner. I used just remnant fleece for the batting. I also
made things simpler by just sewing all the layers together with a fun
top stitch. (No need to bother with all that right sides together,
inside out stuff!) I left a good quarter inch border when I sewed.
Afterwards I got out my pinking sheers and gave each pennant a fun edge.
So easy and so cute!
For
all the letters, shapes and shamrocks I used my trusty Silhouette
Cameo. LOVE THAT MACHINE!! Before cutting I always iron on some Heat n
Bond. This helps keep the fabric stiff enough to cut on my machine, and
also, when I'm ready to add it to my projects I simply have to iron it
on. If you use the Heat n Bond lite, it's sewing machine friendly so a
fun top stitch is always a possibility!
To put it all together I
plugged in my hot glue gun, grabbed some twine, green buttons, scrap
orange fabric and burlap. The twine holds the pennants in place with a
little dab of hot glue and a button on each of the top corners of the
pennants. Then just to add some flare I tied on the burlap and scraps of
fabric between the pennants. Voila! So scrappy! So happy! So fun!
Happy St. Patrick's Day Sis!
