Christmas Banner

I went through all my old Christmas cards the other day and reminisced (my favorite). I had quite a few and wanted to use them in my decor, so I decided to make another (yes, another!) burlap banner. Here it is:

I picked out cards that had a similar color scheme. For these I did red and green (I had a lot of blue and gold cards as well).  I sized out my triangles and then using Modge Podge glued them to the burlap triangles. I stacked books on top of triangles until it was dried to prevent curling. I used a whole punch and red sheer ribbon to lace through. Super cute! The second banner is simply velvet ribbon with JOY written with a Sharpie on the burlap. I like the overlapping look of the two.

As for my chalk board sign, I made that a while back. I change the phrases to go with the seasons. Its nothing more than a piece of plywood painted with chalk board paint and some scrap burlap.

Autumn Banner

I've been seeing so many of these burlap banners all over Pinterest, and of course I just had to make one!  I had some left over burlap from my last project, so why not :) The type of burlap I was working with was made of heavy fibers, and when handled too much would come apart. So i decided to use some card stock and Modge Podge to keep my triangles in tact. With a sharpie I carefully wrote out "Give Thanks" and tada! Super easy. Super cute!  A nice touch in my entryway :)
