Five on Friday {UK edition}

The SEC Tournament is upon us, friends--and so is a BIG game tomorrow!  Y'all know by now that O & I are big Kentucky fans!  While we'd love to make the trip to Atlanta for the tournament next week, we'll settle for a basketball marathon at the house.  And what's some college basketball without some team festiveness?!

{one & two} I can assure you, no matter how many people join us to watch the game, there will be plenty of food.  And drink ;)  I love these festive collegiate platters from Coton Colors!


And, if I had to guess, there will probably be a little of this running around, too.



{three}  I just love these blue & white flats from Lilly Bee!  And don't worry--they have a set for almost every school, not just the Cats!



{four} Since we'll be in the comfort of our own home cheering on the Cats, I'll be lounging in my Pink UK gear



{five} lastly, this



Will you be watching the SEC tournament this coming week?  Who will you be rooting for?!

C-A-T-S Cats! Cats! Cats! {DIY Burlap Bunting}

We are right in the middle of basketball season, and if you know us, you know we L.O.V.E. Kentucky basketball in our house!  Our Saturdays and the occasional weeknight are planned around what time the Cats play.  Whether its just the two of us watching the game or with a group of friends, I try to keep things festive on game day!

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.

DIY banner supplies

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!
