If you check out my Pinterest boards, you'll see that I've been loving on banners and bunting. I thought a festive UK bunting would make a great addition.
Let's back up--I started out by gathering all of my supplies at Joanne's.
Burlap {or other choice fabric}
Acrylic Paint & Foam Brush
Wide Ribbon
Decorative Ribbon {optional}
Stencil
Sewing machine or Liquid Stitch
I made a quick triangle template out of scrap paper, and used a rotary cutter to cut out the burlap.
I created my stencils the same way I did to label our closet bins.
Hold the stencil down & dab the paint onto the burlap with the foam brush.
After the paint dried, I used Liquid Stitch {more on this stuff later!} to attach the painted burlap triangles to the wide ribbon.
I added a little extra decorative ribbon at the ends of the banner & that was it. Seriously simple project! I'd like to think it helped with the W on Saturday {still too close for my liking!}
So glad our fifth house's Dog Days of Winter Challenge suggested I stop pinning and start doing! I love how this turned out!
This is a great project! Thank you for sharing! I might actually allow my boyfriend to decorate for a Steelers games if I make him this. A cute Valentine's gift idea for him!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks, Mary! Let me know how it turns out if you make one!
