Earlier in this crazy month, my co-crafterson Heather celebrated her birthday! I made this cute banner for her, and considering she has four daughters, I'm hoping it will be put to good use :)
These come together pretty fast, and they are also cute just plain without any letters. Use a ruler and cut out a triangle from an old cereal box to use as your template. Use pinking shears (zig-zag fabric scissors) to cut the triangles from your fabric, and they won't fray. Then all you have to do is sew the banner to a ribbon and you've done it! One thing I discovered with this one, I overlapped each flag a little and I like how it hangs a lot better than others I've made.

Won't that be great at birthdays and events? I don't even have one :( That's on my craft list. Happy New Year everyone !!! We're partying at Between Naps on the Porch, The Girl Creative, and A Soft Place to Land.

These are cute. I have always loved banners.
I am seeing cloth banners around on lots of blogs- they are cute. I am almost thinking I should make one. Your method sounds so easy!
Very cute. Thanks for the great pictures, you've inspired me to make one... or at least attempt one!

I've always wanted to try this and yours turned out great. Nice job!
That came out so cute! I am just horrible at sewing shapes and things (like the letters) so I may use wunder under instead when I attempt this project. It's in the back of my mind on my "to do" list. :) Thanks for linking up. You did a great job!
Cute!! Love the colors you chose. :) Must be because I have two girls. Visiting from Kimba's party. I hope you'll stop by. :) Here's my link:

You did a great job. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Love the banners!
I've seen a lot of banners out there in the blogosphere, and haven't really cared for them. But this one is darling, and I can see it being used a lot!
